special relativity - Why is the relative speed between two inertial frames the same for observers in each frame?


Consider two frames $S$ and $S'$, moving relative to each other. If I stand still in frame $S$ and watch frame $S'$, I can measure its speed to be $V$. However, why is this speed the same as the observer in $S'$ measured for $S$? (denote as $V'$?)

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
