What is the relationship between motion and a frame of reference?

Answer 1

Motion is the change in distance between two things. One of those "things" is a reference point to which the other thing is being compared. For example, in a race, my fixed point or reference point is the starting line. I move away from it toward the finish line. There is a change in distance between the starting line and me.

Answer 2

A reference point shows the relation of an object and a moving/non-moving object. If you were in a hot-air balloon you would use a bird flying in relation to your hot-air balloon. To see if the bird changed position in relation to you.

Answer 3

If you're reading a book in an airplane and it happens to fly over your friend's house,

your friend says that the book is moving at 350 miles per hour. But at the same time,

you say that the book isn't moving at all, and that's why you're able to read it easily.

You and your friend are both correct. In his reference frame, you and the book are both

moving at 350 miles per hour. In your reference frame, the book isn't moving at all.

Answer 4

Relative motion, you on the train, relatively theres no motion of the train even though its moving.

You at the station, the train is moving, nothings changed except your point of view or reference point.

Answer 5

As regards the relationship between motion and a reference point, you can use a reference point to describe the direction of an object's motion.
