A car increases its speed from zero to 10 m/s from the perspective of reference frame A. From the perspective of reference frame B, the same car increases its speed from 100 m/s to 110 m/s. Therefore, the kinetic energy increases much more from the perspective of frame B. A certain amount of fuel is burned to reach the final speed in frame A. However, the same amount of fuel is not sufficient to give the car the necessary energy to increase its speed from the perspective of frame B. Where does this extra energy in frame B come from?
