Another analogy I've seen used you can do yourself.
Place your hands flat on a table with your fingers together and the tips of your thumbs touching. Keep your thumbs touching and move your hands apart while spreading your fingers slowly. No one finger tip will be moving faster than the next, but the tips of your pinky fingers will be moving away from each other much faster than anything else. That's because distance between them is growing no matter their movement.
