There are 5 lessons in this physics tutorial covering Relativity. Galilean Transformations. Einstein's Postulates and Newton's Laws. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Relativity. Galilean Transformations. Einstein's Postulates and Newton's Laws and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific physics lesson as required to build your physics knowledge of Relativity. Galilean Transformations. Einstein's Postulates and Newton's Laws. you can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.
In this Physics tutorial, you will learn:
Suppose you are lying on a bed to take a rest. Are you moving in this case? Are you sure? Where do you base the idea that you are moving/not moving?
What can you say about the situation in which you are travelling by car and see the trees around the street moving backward? Do they really move backward? Are they moving in any way?
Is the Earth moving? What about the Sun? Solar system? Galaxies? The universe?
When do you have the sensation that the time elapses faster: during the working days or during the weekend? Why? Does the time really elapses at different paces in this case?
In this tutorial, we will discuss about a phenomenon known as "relativity", which implies the occurrence of an event at different paces, depending on the frame of reference we use to describe the event. Once, this topic was a taboo, until Einstein put it in scientific base.
In scientific terms, relativity is the field of study that measures events (things that happen): where and when they happen, and by how much any two events are separated in space and in time. In addition, relativity deals with transforming such measurements (and measurements of energy and momentum as well) between reference frames that move relative to each other. (From here, it brings the name relativity.)
