Describing Motion Test Review

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

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

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.

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• S = t/d
• S = d/t
