Leondra is standing on a hilltop with a compass in her hand. She observes that the compass needle points towards a large, distant tree, which she knows is directly north of her position. She sees her friend Taj standing by a flagpole to her east. If Leondra walks straight towards the tree, describing her viewpoint, what will happen to the position of Taj, relative to her, as she moves toward the tree?
Make your response very short.
As Leondra walks directly north towards the tree, the position of Taj, who is to her east, will appear to shift towards her left-hand side. This is because Leondra's frame of reference is changing as she moves in a northern direction, while Taj remains stationary relative to the east-west line. Therefore, Taj's position relative to Leondra's field of view will move from her right side (east) towards the west as she proceeds northward.
