The Relativistic Addition Of Velocity
Thus any velocity relativistically added to c gives a resultant value c. In this sense, c plays the same role in relativity that an infinite velocity in classical case.
Let us calculate the velocities perpendicular to the relative motion of frames. Let and are the positions of the body at and in system. So the velocity in system is,
We can use Lorentz transformation for the calculation of corresponding velocities in frame.
We can write the corresponding inverse transformation by changing to -,
