What can I do to increase the velocity of my crosman 1377 pellet pistol?
a lighter pellet Relative velocity’ is a measurement of velocity between two objects moving in different frames of reference. Relative velocity is fundamental in both classical and modern physics, since many systems in physics deal with the relative motion of two or more particles. In special relativity there is no absolute motion, thus making all motion and therefore velocities relative. According to Newtonian mechanics, if an object A is moving with velocity vector v and an object B with velocity vector w , then the velocity of object A relative to object B is defined as the difference of the two velocity vectors: Similarly the relative velocity of object B moving with velocity w, relative to object A moving with velocity v is: [edit] Scalar velocities In the one dimensional case[1], the velocities are scalars and the equation is either: vrel = v − ( − w), if the two objects are moving in opposite directions, or: vrel = v − ( + w), if the two objects are moving in the same direction.
