Lee is traveling in a train moving at a constant velocity of 35 m/s to the east. If Lee is seated on the train and staring at the seat directly in front of him, how fast does the seat in front of Lee appear to be moving relative to Lee?

0 m/s or stationary

The seat in front of Lee appear to be at rest

Explanation:

When the motion of a person or object is found by comparing the person or objects motion with regards to a stationary object or an object in motion, the result is the relative motion of the person or object to the stationary or moving object

In the question, Lee is comparing the motion of the chair in front of him with regards to the motion of the chair he his sitting on.

The speed of both chairs are the same as the speed of the train in which they are attached.

Therefore, as the seats are fixed relative to each other such that there is no change in their relative position and therefore, no or 0 m/s relative velocity with each other.
