relative velocity and resultant velocity?also in a connected(with strings) pulley system,how can we calculate the acceleration and velocities of the pullies and the masses connected onto it?

Relative velocity is the velocity of an object or observer in relation to another object or observer. It takes into account the motion of both objects and their direction of motion.
Resultant velocity is the net velocity of an object after taking into account all of its individual velocity components. It is the overall velocity in a given direction.
The main difference between relative velocity and resultant velocity is that relative velocity considers the motion of two objects or observers in relation to each other, while resultant velocity is the overall velocity of a single object after taking into account all of its individual velocity components.
Relative velocity is used to determine the resultant velocity of an object. The relative velocities of two objects can be added or subtracted, depending on their direction, to calculate the resultant velocity.
An example of relative velocity is two cars driving in opposite directions on a highway. An example of resultant velocity is a person walking on a moving train. The person's velocity relative to the train is their walking speed, but their resultant velocity relative to the ground is the combination of their walking speed and the speed of the train.
