3 Trajectory
In our next visual we are going to show what the RS sees when we change its position of observation and/or move it:

 

Describe what happens when we change the position and/or velocity of the Reference system.

Cambia a tu voluntad algunos o todos los parámetros que te permite la escena y trata de encontrar alguna relación entre las condiciones de observación del SR y lo que observa.

 

 

 

The path described by the red spot is simply a circumference for the observer. However this path for us, other observers, is a much more complicated curve than a circumference. From now on we will refer to this path as a trajectory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

An understanding of the trajectory described by a moving body through time from a known Reference system is our objective when we describe any movement.
Does any observer see the same path described by the moving object?...

Try to define trajectory, place the cursor on the word and you will see a valid definition.
