In (non-relativistic) classical physics, if the temperature of an object is proportional to the average kinetic energy 12m¯v2of its particles (or molecules), then shouldn't that temperature depend on the frame of reference - since ¯v2 will be different in different frames?
(I.e. In the lab frame Kl=12m¯v2, but in a frame moving with velocity u relative to the lab frame, Ku=12m¯(v+u)2).
