Grammar
a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere
I'd like to go to the Mormon church because it has a relaxed atmosphere.
After the final exam, we'll have a relaxing vacation.
Why does the first sentence uses relaxed while the second relaxing in a similar pattern? Could you dig up a reasonable explanation? Thanks.
