Do released objects take the direction and speed of their parent frame's velocity, or just the parent frame's speed component?
Context: I'm working on a space game. I noticed that an unpowered object fired from a strafing spaceship appeared, as the released object moved, to curve in the direction the ship was strafing. This ...

Minimum seperation of moving objects doubt
Let there be $2$ objects $P_1$(initial velocity $u$ $ms^{-1}$ & acceleration $a$ $ms^{-2}$) & $P_2$ (initial velocity $U$ $ms^{-1}$ & acceleration $A$ $ms^{-2}$) initially separated by ...

How to decide which velocity is bigger in a collision before writing velocity of approach and velocity of separation?
My teacher said that velocity of separation is $V_1$- $V_2$ where $V_1$ is greater than $V_2$ and said same for velocity of approach. The problem is how would you determine which velocity is greater ...

Difference in answer using relative motion and that without (Newtonian Mechanics)
The question:
Two bodies move in a straight line towards each other at initial velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ and with constant accelerations $a_1$ and $a_2$ directed against the corresponding ...
