Calculate the velocity of one object as observed from another moving object. This calculator handles both same-direction and opposite-direction relative motion in one dimension.
Enter your values below
Velocity of the first object (positive = right)
Velocity of the second object (positive = right)
How this calculator works
Relative velocity of A with respect to B equals velocity of A minus velocity of B.
