If the objects are moving parallel to each other, then the relative velocity as viewed from either reference frame will be twice the velocity, and if moving opposite to each other, it will be zero.

If they are moving opposite to each other then v1+V2=twice the velocity of one body..if they are moving in same direction then v1-v2 =0...provided every body is having non-relativistic velocity..i.e-v<<<c (velocity of light)..

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence
work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.
