This week we learned about motion. According to “http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/motion”
motion is the action or process of moving or changing place or position. In
some cases this is true but in some cases it is not. It all depends on what the
assumed “movement” is relative to. So in my picture I am moving relative to the
cameraman. I am also moving relative to all the spectators, the signs, the ground,
the cars. Relative to one thing I am not
moving. Relative to the other people running I am not moving. This is the case
because all of those people are also running and going the same speed as me so
it seems as if I am not moving from their perspective. Lets say I started
running faster, relative to the people running slower I am moving but relative
to the people running with me I am not moving. It is all about what the action
is relative to.
Good job with your post, this was a very creative way to combine physics and something you do outside of class. Your write up was very descriptive and easy to understand what motion really is.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, nice picture. I like the way you described motion. You also gave good examples of motion and how it is relative to certain things. Good post
