} #1 velocities of cars relative to each other You need 'relative' as an adjective. #2 velocity of each car relative to the others Your meaning here is a little unclear to me. If each car only has one velocity in your meaning, say 'velocity', otherwise say 'velocities'.
- } #1 velocities of cars relative to each other You need 'relative' as an adjective.
- #2 velocity of each car relative to the others Your meaning here is a little unclear to me.
- If each car only has one velocity in your meaning, say 'velocity', otherwise say 'velocities'.
- ' 'another' is not good because it suggests you are only comparing each velocity to one other, not to all others.
