Motion & Speed (#1 review)

the LOCATION of an object when compared to another object

• position

• reference point

• vector

• scalar

• displacement

a KNOWN location to which others are compared

• position

• reference point

• scalar

• vector

the physical amount of ground covered

• position

• motion

• speed

• distance

• displacement

EXAMPLES of reference directions include...

(Mark all that apply)

• cardinal directions

• right & left

• towards/away from an object

• coordinates (C6) (-3,2)

• up, down, across

a SCALAR quantity...

(Mark all that apply.)

• is distance

• is displacement

• is velocity

• has only one label

• has two labels

a change in position over time

• acceleration

• motion

• distance

• speed

• displacement

a VECTOR quantity...

(Mark all that apply.)

• is distance

• is displacement

• is velocity

• has only one label

• has two labels

Distance answers should be labeled...

• hr, min, s

• m, cm, km, mm

• m/min, cm/min, mm/s

Cardinal directions include...

(Mark all that apply)

• north, south, east, west

• right & left

• NE, SW, NW, SE

• across, towards, away from

In order to find DISTANCE...

• multiply time with speed

• divide time by speed

• divide speed by time

• add time and speed
