Consider there are two particles A and B in a frame of reference and having velocities $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $\vec{V}_{B}$

The velocity of particle$ A$ with respect to $B$ is given by

$\vec{V}_{A B}=\vec{V}_{A}-\vec{V}_{B}$

The velocity of particle B w.r.t. A is given by

$\vec{V}_{B A}=\vec{V}_{B}-\vec{V}_{A}$

Thus, we can write,

$\vec{V}_{A B}=-\vec{V}_{B A} \text { and }\left|\vec{V}_{A B}\right|=\left|\vec{V}_{B A}\right|$

In general If $\mathrm{P}$ and ' $\mathrm{Q}^{\prime}$ are moving along with $\mathrm{X}$

then $\vec{V}_{P Q}=\vec{V} \mathrm{PX}+\vec{V} \times Q$

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \mathrm{PQ}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{PX}}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \mathrm{QX} \quad \ldots$ (3) $[\because \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \mathrm{XQ}=-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \mathrm{QX}]$
