An object is moving with speed that is 90% of the speed of light and another object is moving with same speed. Both of them are moving toward each other . what would be the velocity of one object with respect to the other???????????

5.4 * 10^8 m/s True this is more than the velocity of light but remember this is only the relative velocity and not the actual velocity which is unapprachable according to einstein

No particle can travel faster than the speed of light and i dont think u can use something like that just adding the relative velocities.

 i think the answer would not be as given above.....that's relative velocitybut yet u cannot attain velocity more than that of light........actually the thing is that time adjusts itself in such a way that the relative velocity never exceeds more than that of light....for example....if we r on a vehical moving with a speed 99.99% that of light.....then if we start running inside the vehical in the same direction as the space ship.....time wud slow itself for us so that our combined velocity does not exceeds that of light.
