What is the significance of defining a coordinate system to study the motion of an object?

If the coordinate system is "inertial" (stationary, or moving in a straight line at a constant speed without rotation), then the motion will be the same as in any other inertial system, and Newton's laws of motion apply. If the coordinate system is not inertial (e.g. if it's rotating, or moving in circular path, or accelerating in a straight line), then Newton's laws of motion will not apply if the motion is calculated in the non-inertial frame. For example, if you are sitting at a table in a room that is slowly rotating, and roll a ball across the table, it will appear to move in a curved line across the table. But if you were looking from a stationary point above the room, you would see that the ball rolled in a straight line, and the table was moving under it.

What is the horazontal motion of an object?
motion in only x-axis (of couse if you have a conventional coordinate system)
What is the rate of motion of an object in a linear motion?
That is the object's 'speed'.
Why does object in motion stay in motion?
An object in motion stays in motion because it requires a force to change the motion. No force, no change.
What causes an object in motion to stay in motion?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.
What has to act on an object for it to stay in motion?
Nothing. The natural tendency of an object in motion, is to stay in motion.
What is the horazontal motion of an object?
motion in only x-axis (of couse if you have a conventional coordinate system)
What is meant by the term 'mobilize'?
Mobilize means to make something able to move. It also can mean to put an object into motion, or to assemble something and coordinate it, then putting it into motion.
What is three dimension motion?
motion of any object in Cartesian coordinate system along x, y, z direction by that same time. eg. flying of bird
How does the coriolis effect determine the general path of air circulation?
The effect of the Coriolis force is an apparent deflection of the path of an object that moves within a rotating coordinate system. The object does not actually deviate from its path, but it appears to do so because of the motion of the coordinate system.
When an object's distance from another object is changing what is it called?
it depends on the reference points, that is form where the object is viewed...when sun is viewed form earth, it moving...but earth is also moving...when the rotation of the earth is stopped, then the sun is at a constant position...thereforean object position relative to another object is changingonly when the reference point changes..
What 2 things must you know to descriobe the motion of an object?
If movement is in two dimensions: the x-coordinate of the velocity, and the y-coordinate of the velocity. Or alternatively: the magnitude of the velocity, and the direction. If movement is in three dimensions, you need to know three things, for example, x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of the velocity, or magnitude of the velocity and two components of direction.
When can you say when the object is in motion?
when can you say that the object is in motion
Does the coordinate system of an object depend on the specific location of the origin of the coordinate system?
Yes.
What is the rate of motion of an object in linear motion?
That is the object's 'speed'.
What is the rate of motion of an object in a linear motion?
That is the object's 'speed'.
How does affect the motion ofan object?
the object of motion is akantutan
What does an object in motion always wants to do?
An object doesn't "want to" do anything. An object in motion has the natural tendency to remain in motion.
