Addition of Velocities (Velocity Composition) in Special Relativity
The βAddition of Velocitiesβ formula (more correctly, the βComposition of Velocitiesβ formula) in Special Relativity [tex]\frac{v_{AC}}{c}=\frac{ \frac{v_{AB}}{c}+\frac{v_{BC}}{c} }{1 + \frac{v_{AB}}{c} \frac{v_{BC}}{c}}[/tex] is a non-intuitive result that arises from a βhyperbolic-tangent of a sumβ-identity in Minkowski spacetime geometry, with its use of hyperbolic trigonometry. However, I claim it is difficult to obtain this by looking at...
