Measuring velocity:
velocity = change in position/change in time.
¥In 1 second I see the ball move 5 m.  Its velocity is thus dx/dt = 5/1 = 5 m/s.


¥In 1 second I see observer 2 move 10 m.  The velocity of observer 2 is thus dx/dt = 10 m/s.
¥In 1 second I also see the ball move (10 + 5) = 15 m.  Its velocity is thus dx/dt  = 15 m/s.
¥The velocity I observe is higher than the velocity he observes!
