frame of reference
can someone help me please with these first 2
background
stationary
mving
object
compare
now ue your definition to help you identify the frame of reference in each of the following situations:
1. sun rises over the horizon
frame of refernce____
2. a bus moves past people standing on the side walk
frame of refernce _____
Here is an excellent site on frame of reference.

There are basically two frames of reference in physics... moving and inert.
In both of these there is a comparison between a moving object and an inert object.
To identify the frame of reference in each situation, we need to understand what a frame of reference means. A frame of reference is a set of coordinates in relation to which an observer measures the position, orientation, and motion of an object.
1. A frame of reference can be identified by looking at the background or the stationary/moving objects around the event. In the given situation, when the sun rises over the horizon, the frame of reference can be identified as the Earth's surface or the observer's position. This frame of reference is considered because the sun appears to rise and move across the sky from the perspective of an observer on Earth.
Frame of reference: Earth's surface or observer's position.
2. Similarly, in the situation where a bus moves past people standing on the sidewalk, the frame of reference is the stationary objects, which are the people on the sidewalk. The frame of reference can also be the observer's position if you are looking at the situation from a stationary position and observing the moving bus.
Frame of reference: People on the sidewalk or observer's position.
By analyzing the background, stationary objects, and the observer's perspective, you can determine the frame of reference in different situations.
