Two objects X and Y are moving away from Point P. The diagram I linked shows it.
It then asks us: Which of the following velocity vectors represent the velocity of X relative to Y.
The answer is B, but the same book told me in another part that we should subtract vectors to get the relative velocity, so: Vector X, east, + (-vector north) = east + south vectors, which would give me Answer A. I am confused, can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Peter G.
