velocity of the block B is u wrt the wedge.
velocity of the wedge A wrt to stationary frame: c
case 1: vectors u and c are in the same direction.
=> absolute velocity of the block = u + c in the same direction.
case 2: vectors u and c are in the opposite direction.
=> abs velocity of the block = u - c
case 3: vectors u and c are perpendicular to each other:
=> abs. velocity of the block = √(u² + c²)
