Students, if you’re having trouble grokking frames of reference, the next time you’re in a moving vehicle look into the rear and side view mirrors. The vehicle will be stationary and everything else will be moving relative to it. Compare this to what an observer standing beside the road would observe. Who is “correct?” Note the quotes. IF YOU ARE DRIVING DO NOT RISK YOUR SAFETY!
