This paper presents a package, based on computer simulations, designed to help students visualize the motion of an object in different frames of reference. It shows that, to describe a motion, the observer must define a frame of reference in which the motion is being analysed, and helps students to arrive at the Galilean transformation by themselves.

Abstract

This paper presents a package, based on computer simulations, designed to help students visualize the motion of an object in different frames of reference. It shows that, to describe a motion, the observer must define a frame of reference in which the motion is being analysed, and helps students to arrive at the Galilean transformation by themselves.
