In this video, we cover the concept of relative velocity, which deals with objects that are moving with respect to one another, and/or moving with respect to an observer. A common example is what happens when you're driving in your car, when other vehicles, trees, bridges, etc. are moving with respect to you. We first cover relative velocity in one dimension, and then extend what we learn to two dimensions.
