Relative Motion (Kinematics)¶
Relative motion is motion in a reference frame that is itself moving relative to another relative frame. Unless the latter frame is moving uniformly, it would be a non-inertial reference frame. The notion of fictitious forces can be used to describe the motion of a body in such a frame.
Also see Relative Motion (Dynamics).
