Difference between Configuration space (physics) and Frame of reference

Configuration space (physics) vs. Frame of reference

In classical mechanics, the parameters that define the configuration of a system are called generalized coordinates, and the vector space defined by these coordinates is called the configuration space of the physical system. In physics, a frame of reference (or reference frame) consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix (locate and orient) the coordinate system and standardize measurements.

Similarities between Configuration space (physics) and Frame of reference

Configuration space (physics) and Frame of reference have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Classical mechanics, Generalized coordinates, Manifold, Phase space.

Classical mechanics

Classical mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery, and astronomical objects, such as spacecraft, planets, stars and galaxies.

Generalized coordinates

In analytical mechanics, specifically the study of the rigid body dynamics of multibody systems, the term generalized coordinates refers to the parameters that describe the configuration of the system relative to some reference configuration.

Phase space

In dynamical system theory, a phase space is a space in which all possible states of a system are represented, with each possible state corresponding to one unique point in the phase space.

Configuration space (physics) and Frame of reference Comparison

Configuration space (physics) has 23 relations, while Frame of reference has 92. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 3.48% = 4 / (23 + 92).
