Dimension Motion Relative Relative motion

AI Thread Summary

Relative motion in one dimension involves understanding how the motion of an object is perceived from different reference points, particularly when one of those points is also in motion. The acceleration equation can be derived by analyzing the differences in velocity between a stationary observer and a moving object. This concept highlights the distinction between absolute motion and relative motion, emphasizing that motion is always measured in relation to a chosen reference frame. The discussion encourages a deeper exploration of how these principles apply in practical scenarios. Understanding relative motion is crucial for solving problems in physics effectively.

You can start by asking yourself: "how is motion with respect to a fixed point different from motion relative to a point which is itself moving?"

P.S. I assumed you meant one spatial dimension.

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
