In summary, "Motion for all observers" is a fundamental principle in physics stating that the laws of motion are the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion. This principle is based on Newton's laws of motion and applies to all types of motion, including translational, rotational, and accelerated motion. While there are exceptions when dealing with extreme speeds or strong gravitational fields, the principle holds true for everyday observations and experiments.

Last year I thought about something.If all motion is relative then can we say one objects goes one point to other point using all possible routes.(Like Feymann Path Integral Equation)

The two concepts have nothing to do with each other.

FAQ: Is All Motion Relative to Feynman's Path Integral?

What is "Motion for all observers"?

"Motion for all observers" is a fundamental principle in physics that states that the laws of motion are the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion. This means that the laws of physics apply uniformly to all objects, regardless of their position, velocity, or acceleration.

How does "Motion for all observers" relate to Newton's laws of motion?

Newton's laws of motion are based on the principle of "Motion for all observers." Newton's first law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external force. This applies to all observers, regardless of their frame of reference.

Does "Motion for all observers" apply to all types of motion?

Yes, "Motion for all observers" applies to all types of motion, including translational, rotational, and accelerated motion. This principle is also known as the principle of relativity or the principle of Galilean invariance.

Can "Motion for all observers" be observed in everyday life?

Yes, "Motion for all observers" can be observed in everyday life. For example, a ball thrown in a moving train will appear to follow a curved path to an observer on the train, but to an observer outside the train, the ball will follow a straight path. This is because the laws of motion are the same for both observers.

Are there any exceptions to "Motion for all observers"?

There are some exceptions to "Motion for all observers" when dealing with objects moving at extremely high speeds or in the presence of strong gravitational fields. In these cases, Einstein's theory of special relativity and general relativity must be used to accurately describe the motion. However, for everyday observations and experiments, the principle of "Motion for all observers" holds true.
