If you walk along a log floating on a lake why does the log move in the opposite direction?

HERE'S YOUR ANSWER:

•Since the log is stationary and you are moving beside the log, it seems to move in the opposite direction from your point of view, because from your perspective u are stationary and the log is moving. If you were to stop moving the log would also stop moving.

HOPE IT HELPS...
