Relative Velocity

The velocity of object relative to another object or observer b

As we set the Inertial Reference Frame from the ground to reference object Since, both velocities and have reference points on the ground, the difference is the velocity between the 2 objects

When you view the same 2 objects from the opposite perspectives. For example, a car moves 100m/s when earth is the reference point. If you changed your perspective to be in the car, then instead the earth would appear to be moving 100m/s around you and in the opposite direction.
