Assertion : Particle A is moving Eastwards and particle B Northwards with same speed. Then, velocity of A with respect to B is in South-East direction. Reason : Relative velocity between them is zero as their speeds are same.

Assertion: The relative velocity of the two particles in head-on elastic collision is unchanged both in magnitude and direction. Reason: The relative velocity is unchanged in magnitude but gets reversed in direction.

The vector difference between the absolute velocities of two bodies is called their relative velocity. The concept of relative velocity enables us to treat one body as being at rest while the other is in motion with the relative velocity. This jormalism greatly simplifies many problems. If vecv_(A) is the absolute velocity of a body A and vec_(B) that of another body B then the relative velocity of A in relation to B is vec_(AD)=vecV_(A)-vecv_(B) and vecv_(BA)=vecv_(B) - vecv_(A) . The principle follows here is that the relative velocity of two bodies remains unchaged if the same additional velocity is imparted to both the bodies. A simple way of carrying out this operation is to be represent the velocities in magnitude and direction from a common point. Then the line joining the tips of the vectors represents the relative velocity Q A train A moves to the east with velocity of 40 km/hr and a train B moves due north with velocity of 30 km/hr. The relative velocity of A w.rt. B is
