since by definition motion is 'The act, process, or state of changing place or position; movement; the passing of a body from one place or position to another, whether voluntary or involuntary; -- opposed to rest', then frame of reference (according to the physics def.) is the coordinates used to measure this motion. also, many people modify frame of reference by using sub categories, such as observational reference frame, which implies that we care about the state of motion more. macroscopic and microscopic frames of reference set themselves apart by focusing on the scale of observations.

What is an example of frame of reference for the motion of the snowboarder?
A tree can be used for a frame of reference for the motion of a snowboarder.
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.
Direction and velocity are what to a frame of reference?
Frame of reference is related to motion because reference points enable us to see that an object is moving. ======================== Motion is related to a frame of reference because there is no such thing as 'real' motion or 'real' rest. 'Rest' and 'motion' are always with reference to something else. The book that you are reading is at rest with reference to your lap, your lap is at rest with reference to the seat you're sitting in, and you, the book, and the seat are all at rest with reference to the airplane you're flying in at 400 miles per hour. See what I mean ?
What is movement in relation to a frame of reference called?
Relative motion is movement in relation to a frame of reference.
Can motion be measurd?
Only relative to some frame of reference.
Object of point from which motion is determined?
Frame Of Reference. which means a framework that is used for the observation and mathematical description

Is the inertial reference frame an absolute reference frame?
the inertial reference frame is not absolute. because motion is not absolute. motion is relative depends on who's looking/observing.
Motion relative to observers frame of?
Motion is relative to an observer's frame of Reference.
A movement in relation to a frame of reference is .?
Relative motion is movement in relation to a frame of reference.
How can you tell the motion of your frame of reference?
usually the motion of your frame of reference is 0. When you are in a train going 50 mph, your frame of reference would be you are going 0 mph and the tracks are traveling at -50 mph.
All motion is relative to a frame of referenceWhat is the frame of reference for a sunset?
earth
Is absolute motion possible?
Absolute motion is motion relative to a presumed absolute reference frame. Special Relativity posits that the laws of nature are perfectly symmetrical with respect to any inertial reference frame. This implies that there is no absolute reference frame, and that absolute motion is a useless concept.
Does the Kinetic Energy of an object depends on the frame of reference in which its motion is measured?
Work is force X distance travelled. Force is mass x acceleration. Aceeleration depends on the frame of reference from which one is measuring it. Hence work done depend on the frame of reference from which one is measuring it. QED
What does an objects motion depend on?
the frame of referance
Is the frame of reference needed to describe motion accurrately and completely?
