Explore Forces and Motion

A place or object used for comparison to determine if another object is in motion is called a

• comparison point
• reference point
• point of view
• motion detector

An object is in motion if it changes position relative to

• a reference point

• speed

• the distance traveled

• constant speed

Relative motion

• the motion of an object in comparison to other objects in a specific frame of reference

• the point of view used to measure the position and movement of objects

• how fast something moves

• the distance

What is force?

• the PUSH or PULL on an object

• the motion an object creates

• going fast
