Per 5 Position & Motion Review

Front

What is the definition of position in physics?

Back

Position refers to the location of an object in space relative to a reference point.

Front

What are the three key components used to describe motion?

Back

Position, direction, and speed.

Front

How is distance calculated between two points, D and B?

Back

Distance is calculated by subtracting B's position from D's position.

Front

What does motion refer to in terms of an object's position?

Back

Motion refers to a change in an object's position over time.

Front

What does it mean if an object is not moving from point B to point C?

Back

It means that the object's position remains constant, indicating no motion.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed is calculated as distance divided by time (Speed = Distance/Time).

Front

What is the significance of a reference point in determining position?

Back

A reference point is essential for determining the position of an object, as it provides a basis for comparison.

Front

How can motion be represented graphically?

Back

Motion can be represented using position-time graphs, where the slope indicates speed.

What is the concept of relative motion?

Back

Relative motion refers to the calculation of the motion of an object as observed from a particular reference frame.
