Motion:

a)

An objects change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time.

b)

A place or object that can be used to determine if an object is in motion.

c)

The rate at which an object moves, it depends on the distance traveled and the time taken to travel the distance.

2.

Reference point:

a)

An objects change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time.

b)

A place or object that can be used to determine if an object is in motion.

c)

The rate at which an object moves, it depends on the distance traveled and the time taken to travel the distance.

3.

Speed:

a)

An objects change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time.

b)

A place or object that can be used to determine if an object is in motion.

c)

The rate at which an object moves, it depends on the distance traveled and the time taken to travel the distance.

4.

Speed formula:

a)

distan⁡cetime\frac{dis\tan ce}{time}

b)

c)

directionspeed\frac{direction}{speed}

5.

Acceleration formula:

a)

distan⁡cetime\frac{dis\tan ce}{time}

b)

final velocity −inital velocitytime\frac{final\ velocity\ -inital\ velocity}{time}

c)

6.

Velocity:

a)

An objects change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time.

b)

A place or object that can be used to determine if an object is in motion.

c)

is the rate at which an object changes its position. SPEED AND DIRECTION

7.

Acceleration:

a)

An objects change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time.

b)

A place or object that can be used to determine if an object is in motion.

c)

The rate of change in velocity; it can be speeding up, slowing down or changing directions. Measured in m/s2

8.

11.

A train moving at a velocity of 15 m/s is accelerated to 24 m/s over a 12 second period. What is its acceleration?

a)

12 m/s2

b)

0.75 m/s2

12.

Slope:

a)

An objects change in position relative to a reference point over a period of time.

b)

A place or object that can be used to determine if an object is in motion.

c)

refers to the steepness of a line on a graph. The stepper the line the faster the motion. If the line plateaus (lies straight) there is a break of pause in motion.
