How Does Galilean Transformation Apply to Moving Coordinate Systems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on applying Galilean transformations to moving coordinate systems, specifically in a homework context. The user presents a problem involving two reference systems, K and K', with specific coordinates and velocities. They seek clarification on how to express the equations of motion for particles in both systems. The forum emphasizes the importance of attempting the problem independently and sharing work to identify where assistance is needed. Understanding Galilean transformations is crucial for solving the posed problems effectively.

I am sorry if it is wrong topic , and sorry if it is a bit bad text - translated it from estonian to english. If someone could do it and maybe explain this- that would be great.

Homework Statement



1)In the reference system K is point M with coordinates x=5m , y=2m and z=8m. You have to find that point coordinates in refenrece system K', which moves with velocity 7 m/s aiming z-axis.

2)Particles equations of motion in reference system K' is
x'=5t+4
y'=0
z'=0

Write out this particles equations of motion in reference system K, if:

a) K' is still according to K and its deperature point coordinates are O' (2;0;0).

b) K' is moving according to K evenly and straight with velocity 10 m/s aiming x-axis.
On observation start-moment t=0 both coordinate systems deperature points were same.

Homework Equations


Galilei's principle of relativity, Galilean transformation and and inertial reference frame.

Hi latel, welcome to PF!:smile:

We don't do your homework for you here; you need to make an attempt and show your work, so that we can see where you are having trouble.
 
I can't understand this - how to put these into coordinate system ?
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
