Question

In classical physics, relative motion is absolute. For example, consider an object moving in a straight line with speed v0 on a platform. If the platform is moving with speed vpvp in the same direction relative to the ground, the object will be moving with speed v0+vp relative to the ground. However, it is known that the speed of light is the same for all observers regardless of reference frame, which contradicts the classical model of relative motion. Which of the following statements is a conclusion that could be drawn from this contradiction? Select two answers.

A. There are no absolute reference frames.

B. All physical quantities are the same in all reference frames.

C. Light can be described by a wave model and a particle model.
 
D.Observers in different reference frames will measure time and distance differently.
