What is frame of reference

Dear student,
 

Frame of reference:

Frame of reference is a coordinate system used to represent and measure properties of objects such as their position and orientation.

Reference point:

A reference point is defined as a location which is used to describe another point, by giving the relative position. A reference

point can be anything whose position remains fixed all the time.
Your friend has given good answers above, but they will be useful in higher classes. For now, know that it refers to the place from where you are viewing the motion.

Regards.

a framework that is used for the observation and mathematical description of physical phenomena and the formulation of physical laws, usually consisting of an observer, a coordinate system, and a clock or clocks assigning times at positions with respect to the coordinate system.

Hi!

A well defined coordinate system through which we observe an event and measure the quantities with respect to that system is called a frame of reference. This can be of many types.
In general a coordinate system is used to specify the position of any particle.

Hi!

Frame of reference:
The frame of reference is a system of coordinate axes, which is attached to an observer having a clock with him with respect to which the observer can describe position,displacement etc of a moving object or any other object. This would of course be with respect to his own frame.
