Activity 1: Galilean Transformation

1. Make a compilation of concepts in your classical physics focus on


• Coordinate systems
• Concept of velocity and acceleration
2. Define Galilean Transformations
• Events and coordinates
• Galilean coordinate transformations
• Galilean velocity transformations
• Galilean acceleration transformation
Q&A
1. Make a comparison on the classical definition of coordinate systems versus
Galilean coordinates. In what aspects they are similar? In what aspects different?
2. Compare the classical concept of motion (velocity and acceleration) to Galilean
concepts of velocity and acceleration. In what aspects they similar? In what aspect
they different?
3. What is Galilean Transformation?
4. Why is their a need to have Galilean Transformations?
5. What is Invariance of an equation?
6. How does it affect the concept of Galilean Transformations?
Reflection
• Write a 100 word reflection paper on the concept studied focusing on its
impact to you as:
a) A BSE Science Student
b) A future science teacher
c) A person in general
