Forces&Motion Lesson 1

What is a reference point?

• An objects distance and direction

• The process of changing position

• The starting point you choose to describe the position of an object

• The difference between the starting point in the final position

What is "position"?

• Point you choose to describe the location of an object

• An object's distance and direction from a reference point

• Measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time

• A quantity that has both magnitude and direction

What is "motion"?

• End direction of a moving object

• A measure of the distance in object travels in a given amount of time

• The difference between the starting position and the final position

• The process of changing position, or location

What is "displacement"?

• Total length traveled

• The difference between the starting position and the final position

• Measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time

• The process of changing position

How do you define "speed"?

• A measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time

• The starting point you choose to describe the location of an object

• An object's distance and direction from a reference point

What is "velocity"?

• A measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time

• The difference between the starting position and the final position

• Total length covered

• The speed and direction of a moving object

What is a "vector" quantity ?

• A quantity that has both magnitude and direction

• A measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time

• The process of changing position

• Total length covered
