) states that the velocity of a particle withrespect to another particle is obtained by subtracting thevelocity of the first from that of the second. ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE. Two particles move in the circumference of a circle with constantspeeds of v and 2 v. Find their relative velocities. Let the… … Fia. 53. Discussion. — Whenever Pj passes P2 the value of fl is a multiple of2 TT, therefore cos 9 = I and v = v. When the particles occupy the ends MOTION 85 of a diameter cos 5 = — 1, therefore «/ = 3v. When they are separatedby an angle which is an odd multiple of -, cos 9 = 0; therefore Vi=v…
