What is a common frame of reference when you describe motion?
An origin or zero point.
Why do you need to include a reference point when you describe the motion of an object?
Motion is relative. There must be something to compare it to.
Is the frame of reference needed to describe motion accurrately and completely?
That's right, motion cannot be measured unless you have some frame of reference within which to measure it.
Why is the reference important in order to describe motion?
Motion is always relative, depending on the reference point. If a tree is the reference point, then the car zooming past will be moving. But, if you use the car as the reference point, then it seems as though the tree is zooming past.
What does coriolis affect mean?
deflection of moving objects when the motion is described relative to a rotating reference frame.
How can motion describe?
In simple motion can be described as the movement of any object.
What are things that are around you that you use to describe motion?
frame of reference

How many laws of motion did Isaac Newton describe?
Isaac Newton described three laws of motion.

True or false A frame of reference is not necessary to describe motion accurately and completely?
It certainly is necessary. Sometimes it may be implied - for example, in practice, quite often planet Earth is used as a frame of reference. But whether it is implied, or explicitly stated, you always need a frame of reference to describe motion, or position.
Is frame reference used to describe the motion of an object related to it?
It is called "reference frame"; and yes, that's the basic idea - related to what will you measure movement.
