The formula to calculate the Total Velocity (Vt) is:
Vt=Vo−a+Va−b
Where:
Total velocity is a measure of the velocity of an object relative to another point when combining two or more relative velocities.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate the Total Velocity:
Vt=10+5=15 m/s
This means that the total velocity for this example is 15 m/s.
