| May 23, 2015 at 4:25 | comment | added | hobbs | You got good answers here, but I really hope that what you took away from it is the way that you could have answered the question yourself. The formula is in your post, and whatever device you used to post the question certainly has enough computing power to compute and graph the difference between the two formulae :) | |

Clarified title since the question is in the Hot Network Questions sidebar.

| May 21, 2015 at 10:35 | comment | added | MSalters | Note that when we write "24 km/s or so", we already imply that our tolerance for input errors is several %. "24 km/s + 5 km/s = 29 km/s", with the error margins dominated by the input error regardless of the formula used to add speeds. | |
