If you are riding on a train that speeds past another train moving in the
same direction on an adjacent track, it appears that the other train is
moving backward. Why?
Answers
Explanation:
If you are traveling with a relativity constant velocity, then you will interpret your reference frame as being at rest. Since you are moving faster than the other train, the other train is moving backwards relative to you. Seeing the other train go past your window from front to rear makes it look like the train is going backwards
This is your frame of reference. if u are moving at a fairly constant velocity. you will interpret this as being a rest . since you are moving forward faster than the other train,the other train is moving backwards related to you. seeing the other train go fast your windows from front to rear makes it's look like the other train is going backwards. this is similar to passing a semi truck on the interstate out of a passenger windows, it looks like the truck is going backwards.
