AS102 Study Guide - Final Guide: Inertial Frame Of Reference
Document Summary
Electrodynamics of moving bodies", in which he presented what soon became known as the. This theory is now accepted widely as one of the underpinnings of our understanding of how the universe works. Relativity (str) was published in 1905 by albert. Einstein and considers situations involving inertial reference frames. An inertial reference frame is one that is moving at a constant velocity relative to another reference frame. A common example of an inertial reference frame is you standing on the roadside (that"s an inertial reference frame) watching a car going past you at a constant velocity (that"s another inertial reference frame). The str is all about such reference frames when the relative speeds approach the speed of light (high speeds!). General theory of relativity, published by einstein in 1916, involves reference frames which are accelerating relative to each other. Theory of relativity is so-called because it is a.
