A

The relative velocity of object A with respect to object B is the difference of their velocities.

B

The relative velocity can only be calculated if both objects are moving in the same direction.

C

Relative motion is independent of the chosen frame of reference.

D

The total velocity of two objects in relative motion is the sum of their individual velocities.

Correct Answer
