Relative motion and frames of reference

PhysicsKid0123 · Sep 12, 2014

Okay guys, I still feel like I don't quite understand these concepts well enough. Do you guys have any websites or links to help me understand these concepts better? I feel like I only partially understand these concepts. I also feel like I partially understand the application of the mathematics to the corresponding physics - not the mathematics itself (I am a math major going to double major in physics soon). If you can give me brief explanations about these things, that would also be great appreciated.

Can you post up an example of a question that's giving you that queasy feeling that you're only partially understanding the concepts? That will give us something to sink our teeth into.
