| Apr 29 at 4:40 | comment | added | Krave37 | I was thinking what if, I break the motion into two parts, One along the stick, and the other perperdicular. If I enter the frame of a person moving along the stick witht he same speed, then will I see the stick rotating about a fixed axis? Also, the original question was that a fly is on a stick and as the stick moves with different velocities at its ends, the fly moves with a constant velocity relative to the stick. What does this mean? | |
