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
