Question

  1. describe an original example that shows how frame of reference influences the perception of motion.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The frame of reference is a set of coordinates used to determine positions and velocities. In a moving train, if you look out the window at another train on a parallel track, you may perceive your train as moving when it is actually the other train moving. Your frame of reference is the stationary - looking objects inside your train and the other train. When the other train moves relative to your frame of reference (the inside of your train), it can create an illusion of your train moving.

Answer:

An example is being in a stationary train and seeing the train on the adjacent track move. You may initially think your train is moving due to the frame of reference being the stationary - appearing interior of your own train and the moving adjacent train.
