Relative Motion
Learning Time: 3-10 hours
Content: Relative motion is the subject that examines how the motion of an object appears in different reference frames. This subject covers relative velocity, relative acceleration, vector addition of motion, wind and current effects, and practical applications. TYT focuses on basic relative velocity calculations, while AYT focuses on complex systems and traffic analysis. The current 2025 curriculum also covers technologies such as autonomous vehicles and air traffic control. Learning this topic provides the foundation for motion analysis.
