Physics debate: Is a drone moving at 50 kph or stationary?

Original: Explain using physics: Is the drone stationary or moving at 50 kph?

A widely shared question asks people to explain, using physics, whether a drone hovering is stationary or moving at 50 kph. The puzzle, which hinges on frame of reference, has drawn large engagement as users argue over relative motion and airspeed versus ground speed.

Why now: Relative-motion questions like this spark debate because people disagree over which frame of reference is correct.
