True. To a point.
It depends on whether you are measuring speed relative to the ship or to the ocean.
For example, your speed relative to the ocean from bow to stern would be (ship's speed)-(ship's speed), and your speed relative to the ocean from stern to bow would be (ship's speed)+(your jogging speed). This could be proven using a gps based spedometer.
(The math..... for a ship's speed of 20 mph and running speed of 5 mph)
bow to stern= 20 mph-5 mph or 15 mph relative speed
stern to bow= 20 mph+5 mph or 25 mph relative speed
The speed relative to the ship doesn't matter which way you are jogging.
This could be shown by a pedometer based spedometer.
So there! Have a great weekend you'all
