A

The relative velocity between two objects can be expressed as the vector difference of their velocities.

B

The relative velocity is the same as the average velocity of both objects combined.

C

Relative velocity is independent of the frame of reference chosen for the observation.

D

When calculating relative velocity, the magnitudes of the velocities must be added algebraically.

Correct Answer
