College's Evil Side

Here's an excerpt from my most recent assigned reading from my Philosophy of Science course called Understanding Science (SC220)...

"This is called the law of addition of velocities. The velocity observed from the stationary frame of reference (V) is the sum of the velocity of the moving frame of reference (V1) plus the movement of the object within it (V2). V = V1 + V2 The law of addition of velocities provides a means of transforming motion calculations from one reference frame to another. The Galilean principle of relativity explains how people in different frames of reference can have different observations and yet both be right. By a simple set of calculations, we can transform one set of observations into the other - thereby explaining both observations by the same physical laws."

SHOOT ME NOW!!!

:: No offense, Mr. Hardman, my high school math teacher... you were amazing, but I couldn't stand physics then, and I hate it even more now!!! ::
