Option A – Frame of reference (Topic 2) Introduction The aim of this essay is to discuss how people’s frame of reference may influence their communication with individuals from different cultural backgrounds, with reference to personal and cultural differences in values, beliefs, attitudes and customs, and how these differences may complicate sharing of meaning and cooperation in relationships. Key concepts • Frame of Reference According to (Atherton, 2013) frame of reference is very broad in understanding

If one sits stationary on top of the coil, one will see the magnet moving and an electric field is induced around him. However, if one were to sit on top of the moving magnet, then to him, the magnet is not moving
When Newton proposed his axioms describing fundamental laws of physics, he insisted on the necessity of absolute space to a completed theory of mechanics. Absolute space can be best described as not-relationally-dependent space. Newton purports that there is something more to space than just being a vessel to conceptualize positional differences between specific bodies; he claims that there is some objective truth to space -- that spatial differences are not dependent upon the matter contained within
observer in the S frame observes an event in the S prime frame. The S prime frame is moving with a velocity v relative to the S frame. Therefore if we had the coordinates of an event in the S frame, we could find out the corresponding coordinates in the S prime frame. The y and z coordinates would translate directly to the other frame, but the time on the axis on which the S prime frame is moving would need be transformed. All that would need to be done is to plug in the S frame x coordinate and the
Introduction Einstein's theory of relativity is a famous theory, but it's little understood. Essentially, the theory of relativity refers to two different parts of the same theory: special relativity and general relativity. The theory of special relativity was introduced first, and was later considered to be a special case of the more comprehensive theory of general relativity. During the nineteenth century, scientists believed that light is a wave. They reasoned that waves of light need a medium
And in case of non-inertial reference frames, the special relativity is not applicable at all. Let me also comment on the example with spherical ways. The example should be treated with care, as the reference frame on the rim of the disk is non-inertial. The General relativity can handle this case correctly, this it is ok. But simplified direct conclusions from this example should not be extracted. And it will not help with our case with plane waves and inertial reference frames. To sum up: In
various experiments showing the trueness in this theory. This plays an important role in astronomical observation. Relativity comes in two forms, one known as Special and one known as General. The first postulate of Einstein’s theory states that if two frame that are moving relative to one another at a constant velocity or speed, the laws regarding physics are the same in one as it is in the other. As an example to this we can use a person at the train station. Whe... ... middle of paper ... ...eople
2. INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM In this chapter we will discuss about the principles of inertial navigation system. At first we describe about the basics of modelling motion in land vehicle. Second an introduction to inertial sensors is given and then discuss about some useful information like position, velocity, what we get from inertial navigation system as output. Finally we will discuss the drawbacks of inertial navigation systems and try to understand why inertial navigation system is better to
Einstein created the theory of special relativity. The theory explains how it understands motion between different inertial frames of reference, meaning places that are moving at constant speeds relative to each other. He explained that when two objects are moving at a constant speed as the relative motion between the two objects, instead of appealing to the other as an absolute frame of reference that defined what was going on. Einstein’s theory is based on two things: the principle of relativity and the
has been tested numerous times. In every case, the predictions of special relativity are upheld. Special relativity is a cornerstone upon which modern physics has been built, and it is one of the greatest discoveries of the twentieth century. References Einstein, Albert.

Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm. He was raised in Munich, where his family owned a small electrical machinery shop. Though he did not even begin to speak until he was three, he showed a great curiosity of nature and even taught himself Euclidean geometry at the age of 12. Albert despised school life, thinking it dull and boring, so when his family decided to move to Milan, Italy, Einstein took the opportunity to drop out of school, only 15 at the time. After a year
electrodynamics and optics) are the same in any frame of reference. This is what he calls the “Principle of Relativity.” He also postulates that light in vacuum will always propagate with velocity c, regardless of the motion of the reference frame. He abandons the idea of the luminous ether here because ether necessitates the absolute rest that Einstein argues against. Einstein establishes an inertial reference, where Newton’s laws hold. He calls this the “stationary frame.” He defines the position through standard
Albert Einstein is known as one of the greatest scientists of all time. He has propose many great theories like the Special Theory of Relativity, the Theory of General Relativity, and E=mc2. (Einstein is famous for these theories along with his help in developing the laser.) He also influences many other scientists in the study of quantum theory and the cosmos. Know one really will ever understand what went on in this man’s mind but he was defiantly one of the greatest men of all times. The
Einstein’s second paper proposed what is now called the special theory of relativity. He based his new theory on a reinterpretation of the classical principle of relativity, specifically the laws of physics had to have the same form in any frame of reference. Later in 1905 Einstein showed how mass and energy were equal. The third paper in 1905 concerned statistical mechanics. After 1905 Einstein made important contributions to quantum theory, but he wanted to extend the special theory of relativity
Sir Isaac Newton, born on the 25th of December 1642 in Woolsthorpe by Colsterworth, Lincolnshire, England, and passing away on the 20th of March 1727, is regarded as one of, if not the most influential Mathematician and Physicist of all time and he was a huge figure that took a great part in the scientific revolution. Sir Newton was born 3 months after his father (a profitable farmer), also named Isaac Newton passed away, followed by his Mother re-marrying when he was 3 years old to a stepfather
Basketball is one of America’s favorite pastimes. While a great defense wins championships, watching players on offense is arguably the most exciting part of the game. Transition offense, either a quick inbound and go or getting a rebound or turnover and swiftly moving up the court, is an important part of the game for teams to try to take advantage and score. In order to be successful offensively as a guard, players must be able to be somewhat quick, agile, and have court vision; power forwards
Around 1886 Albert Einstein began his school career in Munich. As well as his violin lessons, which he had from age six to age thirteen, he also had religious education at home where he was taught Judaism. Two years later he entered the Luitpold Gymnasium and after this his religious education was given at school. He studied mathematics, in particular the calculus, beginning around 1891. In 1894 Einstein's family moved to Milan but Einstein remained in Munich. In 1895 Einstein failed an examination
Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthorpe, England on December 25th 1642. When Newton was 12 to about 17 he went to Kings School where he learned latin but unfortunately no math. His mother pulled him out and wanted him to become a farmer. The school called back and asked him if he would go back to finish his education. He went back to finish his education, he was awarded a scholarship. He entered Cambridge University in 1661. He stayed there for eight years. While he was there he took a lot of Physics
force. The units for torque are in Newton-meters. Torque is observed when a force is exerted on a rigid object pivoted about an axis and. This results in the object rotating around that axis. "The torque ? due to a force F about an origin is an inertial frame defined to be ? ? r x F"1 where r is the vector position of the affected object and F is the force applied to the object.To understand angular momentum easier it is wise to compare it to the less complex linear momentum because they are similar
