written by Fu-Kwun Hwang
sub author: Gary Richert

This applet presents a graphical, interactive picture of relative motion. It illustrates how an object may appear to have different motions to different observers, depending on how the observers are moving with respect to one another. Included are examples of how this applet may be used, and a worksheet from a different author.

NTNU Java: Relative Motion (frame of reference):

Same topic as Einstein Light: Inertial frames and Newtonian mechanics

This is an animation-based tutorial designed to introduce relativity to beginners. This segment uses a merry-go-round to explore inertial and non-inertial frames of reference.
