Sorry I don't understand why we are subtracting the velocities? Don't they add up when the two bodies are moving in opposite direction relative to each other?
Sorry I don't get it.
In the reference frame of B , B would be stationary . Both the planet and spaceship would be approaching it from positive X direction. This makes the velocity of the planet to be +v2 . And the relative velocity in B's frame of reference in Newtonian physics will be , v1+v2.
