Motion relative to observers frame of?
Motion is relative to an observer's frame of Reference.
Why do you think an understanding of frame of reference is important?
According to the current understanding of physics, there is no such thing as "absolute motion". There is nothing in space that distinguishes one frame of reference from another. There is no "preferred" reference frame. Thus, if you don't specify a frame of reference, you don't know how an object is moving. Unless, of course, the frame of reference is implicit; in some practical situations it is.
What object is used for the frame of reference if you were to say that a dead mosquito is in motion even its lying still on the ground?
the sun
What is the formula for reference point?
A frame of reference in physics may refer to a coordinate system or set of axes within which to measure the position, orientation, and other properties of objects in it, or it may refer to an observational reference frame tied to the state of motion of an observer. It may also refer to both an observational reference frame and an attached coordinate system as a unit. There is no particular formula to calculate this.
What is A object that stays in place and to which a moving object is compared is a?
A reference frame? Of course, a reference frame need not be a specific object, so I'm not really sure...
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.
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?
No, an inertial reference frame is not an absolute reference frame. It is a frame of reference in which an object either remains at rest or moves with constant velocity in a straight line, but it is not considered absolute as its motion can be affected by external forces.
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.
What is movement in relation to a frame of reference called?
Relative motion is movement in relation to a frame of reference.
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.
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.
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.
What is a stationary object by which motion can be determined?
frame of reference
