Describe the relationship between reference point and motion?

On my science test Monday, we have to be able to describe the relationship between motion and Reference Point, and I don't understand it.Describe the relationship between reference point and motion?Most of the time, you think of a reference point as a starting point. Like your home, for example. You go many places from your home (name five-- OK like to school, classrooms within the school, a hamburger place, church if you go, some sports place). Whatever you name, you will go there (motion) and you will come home (reference point).



So the reference point is the starting and/or ending point that all motion is measured to or from. Motion is movement. It can be measured from the reference point.Describe the relationship between reference point and motion?this is determined by whether the reference point itself is in motion....This is one of physics finest flaws, as well as the missed understanding on exactly what "mass" is...does the monitor in front of you have any motion in relation to your reference point ? no ! And yet both you, and it, are spinning smoothly around in space at an average velocity of 1000 miles per hour !!! Kinda disturbing, huh ?
