Radians and Degrees

  • In degrees, once around a circle is 360°

  • In radians, once around a circle is 2π

  • A radian measures a distance around an arc equal to the length of the arc's radius

Reference Frames

  • A reference frame describes the motion of an observer

    • Most common reference frame is Earth

  • Laws of physics we study in this course assume we're in an inertial, non-accelerating reference frame

  • There is no way to distinguish between motion at rest and motion at a constant velocity in an inertial reference frame

Calculating Relative Velocities

  • Consider two objects, A and B.

  • Calculating the velocity of A with respect of reference frame B (and vice versa) is straightforward

  • Example:

    • Speed of car with respect to the ground

    • Walking on a train, speed of a person with respect to the train
