3. Composition and Resolution of Velocity

The composition of velocities involves vectorially combining two or more velocities acting on an object in different directions to determine the resultant velocity. Conversely, resolution of velocity breaks down a single velocity into its components usually along perpendicular axes, aiding in simplifying motion problems. These concepts are integral to understanding projectile motion, motion on inclined planes, and relative motion scenarios.
