Chapter 3 - Physics in motion

Frame of reference

Frame of reference

zero point from which physical quantities are measured

Vectors

are physical quantities having magnitude and direction EX. velocity, displacement, acceleration

Scalar

physical quantity which just has magnitude EX. speed, work, energy

Components

scalar part of a vector

Resultant

vector addition

Projectile motion

motion in 2-d under constant acceleration due to gravity

Relative velocity

(vector subtraction) the velocity of one object with respect to another

Who developed a transformation equation that allows one to move from one frame of reference to another classically?

Galileo

Galileo developed what?

A transformation equation that allows one to move from one frame of reference to another classically.
