Try applying conservation of momentum
Relative velocity change refers to the change in the velocity of an object in relation to another object. It is the difference between the initial velocity and the final velocity of the object.
Relative velocity change is calculated by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity. The result is the change in velocity, which can be positive, negative, or zero depending on whether the object is speeding up, slowing down, or maintaining a constant velocity.
The factors that affect relative velocity change include the initial velocity of the object, the acceleration of the object, and the duration of the change in velocity. Other factors such as air resistance and external forces may also affect the relative velocity change.
Relative velocity change is directly related to Newton's first and second laws of motion. According to Newton's first law, an object will remain at rest or in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. When a force is applied to an object, it will experience a change in velocity, as described by Newton's second law.
Some real-life examples of relative velocity change include a car accelerating from a stop, a ball being thrown, or a plane taking off. In each of these scenarios, the objects experience a change in velocity in relation to their initial state or to another object, demonstrating the concept of relative velocity change.
