Lecture

Kinematics: Velocity and Inertial Frames

Description

This lecture covers the concept of kinematics, focusing on the definition of velocity for different observers and the extraction of components using scalar products. It also discusses the equivalence of inertial frames and provides examples and counterexamples to illustrate the principles. The acceleration is explored as the second derivative with respect to time, emphasizing the importance of understanding relative velocity and the impact of different frames of reference.
