Motion and Displacement

Position

• a specific point in space

• the amount of space between one point and another

• the change in position of an object

• the point or place where something begins

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

motion

• a change in the position of an object compared to another object (related term: move, movement)

• 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

time

• measured period during which something occurs

• a change in the position of an object compared to another object (related term: move, movement)

• a pull or push that is applied to an object

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

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

Displacement is

• position of object

• final position minus initial position

• distance divided by time

• initial position plus final position

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.

During which interval is the object not moving?

• B to C
• C to D
• D to E
• only at point A
