Relative Motion Frames of reference And the velocity of things Chapter 3 part 3
Frame of Reference How a motion appears to you depends on your point view, or frame of reference A frame of reference is an imaginary 3D coordinate system which you consider to be stationary And is what you compare a motion to.
Relative Motion Velocity is only meaningful relative to a specific frame of reference All frames of reference are equally valid. Thus An object moving in one frame of reference may not be moving in another Or be moving differently
