6H Chapter 1 Lesson 1 Position and Motion

distance

• length of path traveled in total

• the shortest path between two points

• the total time taken to travel

• the speed of an object during travel

specify

• to tell exactly

• to guess vaguely

• to ignore completely

• to summarize briefly

displacement

• the total distance traveled by an object

• the difference between initial position and final position of an object

• the speed of an object in a given direction

• the change in velocity of an object over time

position

• object's distance and direction from a reference point

• the speed of an object in motion

• the mass of an object in relation to gravity

• the time taken for an object to travel a distance

motion

• process of changing position

• a state of rest

• a type of force

• the speed of an object

relative

• compared to

• in contrast with

• independent of

• similar to

reference point

• A point of reference used in navigation

• A starting point you choose to describe the location or position of an object

• A fixed location in space

• A point that is always moving

dimension

• distance of length measured in one direction

• a measure of area in two directions

• a unit of volume

• a concept of time measurement
