Work in pairs answer 1) and 2)

motion

• an object is in motion if the distance is changing

• You need a reference point or

  a place or an object used for comparison

Multiple Choice

Which object is in motion?

• A video of a car moving

• A ball rolling down the hill

• Bowling pins in a pyramid

• A potato on the table

Multiple Choice

The description of an object's position depends on...

• a velocity.

• an object.

• a reference point.

• a displacement.

Multiple Choice

Directing someone to walk north and west is describing a position in two dimensions (2 parts )

• True.

• False.

Multiple Choice

The starting point describing the location of an object is the...

• displacement.

• positive direction.

• negative direction.

• reference point.

Multiple Choice

Which statement indicates that motion has occurred?

• The reference point has changed.

• The position of the object has changed.

• The object has changed.

Multiple Choice

"The store is located 3 blocks west and four blocks south of the gas station" is a set of directions in

• one dimension.

• two dimensions.

• three dimensions.

• town.

Multiple Choice

When describing an object's position, you must give...

• a distance and a speed.

• a direction and a distance.

• a displacement and a distance.

• a direction.

Learning Outcome:

Differentiate between distance and displacement​

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Multiple Choice

What would be a good reference point to show that the boy in the train is moving?

• the seat

• the window

• the table

• the building

Multiple Choice

Position

• An objects distance and direction from a reference point

• the amount of space between one point and another

• the change in position of an object

• the point or place where something begins

Multiple Choice

Distance

• the amount of space between one point and another

• a specific point in space

• the change in position of an object

• the point or place where something begins

Multiple Choice

motion

• a change in the position

• a pull or push that is applied to an object

• the change in position of an object

• the amount of space between one point and another

Multiple Choice

displacement

• the change in position of an object

• the amount of space between one point and another

• the speed and direction of moving objects

• the point or place where something begins

Multiple Choice

How can you tell if an object is in motion?

• the object will look different

• I'll be able to see the forces

• It will remain in the same position

• Its position will change in relation to other objects

Multiple Choice

Displacement is

• position of object

• final position minus initial position

• distance divided by time

• initial position plus final position

Multiple Choice

Motion

• The starting point you use to describe the motion or position of an object.

• The object's distance and direction from a reference point.

• The process of changing position.

• The difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position of an object that has moved.
