You walk with a velocity of 2 m/s north. You see a man approaching you, and from your frame of reference he has a speed of 3 m/s to the south. What is the velocity of the man from the frame of reference of a stationary observer? (2 points)
When you are walking to the north with 2m/s velocity, the stationary object(velocity=0m/s) will look like moving south at 2m/s velocity. That happens because the relative distance between you and the object is reduced by 2m/s in both conditions. In this question, the man seems like have 3m/s velocity. The real velocity should be: 3m/s - 2m/s = 1m/s
