relative motion

motion is measured relative to the observer .
It is easiest to describe motion if the observer is

stationary

relative
velocity is measured rectorial ly (the rectorial addition of velocities )
if the observer's
moving at the same
velocity (direction and speed ) then the

relative
velocity is 0

if the observer speed but opposite direction then the
