Our two intrepid relacar drivers are named Pam and Ned. We use these names to make it easy to remember: measurements made by Pam

are primed (x', t') and those made by Ned are not primed (x, t). v is the velocity of Pam (the other frame of reference) as measured by Ned. What is the interpretation of v'?

This is a problem based on the logic and interpretation of the variables. From the measured data taken

what is collected by the two individuals is expressed as,

- NED reference system: (x, t)

- PAM reference system: (x ', t')

From the reference system we know that ν is the speed of PAM (the other reference system) as a measurement by NED.

Then ν' is the speed of NED (from the other system of the reference) as a measurement by PAM.
