The ring gear and planetary gear having fun running around

Three part question so think before you answer.
A ring gear with a circumference of 1 meter is spinning at
1 revolution per second wrt an observer (A) standing to the north
1 inch away from the gear.
There is a white line (D) that (A) is counting going by and it is matching
the
tick on his watch that counts in seconds.
We stop the ring gear and we check on another gear on it.
On this ring gear there is a planetary gear (K) being driven to drive
around the gear in the same direction of motion the ring gear would be
rotating in, and this smaller gear and is passing by observer (A) at
10 times per second when the ring gear is not spinning.
Question 1:
If the ring gear spins at 1 meter per second (1 rev per second)
with this planetary gear still moving at the 10 ring gear circumferences
per second, what would observer (A) read for the planetary gears
revs wrt his position?
Question 2:
Is 11 revs per second for the planetary gear wrt (A) wrong in any way?
Question 3:
Would you ever want to use a velocity addition algebra
instead of simple algebra addition in this case and where would such be
used if it should at all?
