Journal 10/16

WEST:: ::EAST
TRAIN
-------------------------------------------------------\
Meagan+Beccy [Andrew] <----------------------Ryan \
_______________________________________\

Train traveling eastwards.

LEGEND:
<- Direction of walking
[] Stationary position

-The object of reference is the Train.
-Coordinate positions East + West.
-The train is moving faster east than Ryan is walking west.
-Because the train is moving faster east than Ryan's path of walking west, Ryan is still moving in an easterly direction.
-Meagan's first statement that Ryan is walking west because he is about to bump into Andrew is true, however her second statement is not completely true.
-Beccy's statement is not true because the train is the object of reference and Ryan is inside of the object of reference. Ryan is still moving westward, however the train is still dragging him eastwards. Ryan is just moving inside of the object of reference.

    Good work! Answer these quick questions to confirm your understanding please:

    1. Some observers could use the scope test to see that Ryan is moving west. Describe where these observers are and what they would be doing.

    2. Some observers could use the scope test to see that Ryan is moving east. Describe where these observers are and what they would be doing.

    3. Some observers could use the scope test to see that Ryan is NOT MOVING. Describe where these observers are and what they would be doing.

    4. If Ryan looks up from his phone while he's walking, does he see anyone moving east? Explain how he knows.
