But the ground's relative velocity, because it's spinning, would do a lot of damage.
Basically, the higher the crossing number, the faster the relative velocity.
"We want to exit with low relative velocity," she said to them all.
If the relative velocities were wrong, you couldn't make pickup.
He swung the boat around and killed its relative velocity.
Now you will have a low relative velocity, but only for a brief moment.
It has a net relative velocity of about 39 km/s.
That way we'd never be more than a million kilometers off, nor have too high a relative velocity.
The relative velocity should be less than 2v due to special relativity.
However because it has zero relative velocity to the Earth's surface.
