Frames of Reference

This video introduces the concept of Frames of Reference as used in the Grade 11 Physics program. It presents several tools that are useful to describe a motion in relation to a position. Mastering this concept is essential for students as it is an integral part of the Dynamics and Kinematics units of the course.

Learning Goals:

  • Use a frame of reference
  • Describe the trajectory of a moving object
  • Use a Cartesian plane
