(0.2) Special Relativity: Coordinate Transformations

Welcome to the second video in the Shots in the Quark course on Special Relativity! After our previous discussion on frames of reference, we identified a question we wanted to answer: if you know how an object is moving with respect to one reference frame, how can you work out what that motion looks like from the perspective of a different frame? To answer that question we need to learn about coordinate transformations.

In this video we consider a simple example involving a tennis ball dropped on a moving train to introduce how coordinate transformations work.
