  1. Relative Motion Frames of reference And the velocity of things Chapter 3 part 3

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. Solve relative motion problems by… Adding vectors!
