Jenny took the photo on the left, and then some time later took the photo on the right. Given that this is the same tree in front of the same mountain, what is the best explanation for the difference?
The tree moved and the mountain remained stationary.
The mountain moved and the tree remained stationary.
Jenny took the photos from within 2 different reference frames.
Each of the photos used a difference reference point.
Which path has the SMALLEST displacement relative to the START point?
Path A, ending at A
Path B, ending at B
Path C, ending at C
All 3 paths, ending at A,B, or C, have equal displacement
Velocity differs from speed in that it has:
direction
orientation
displacement
motion
A car driving in a circle at a constant speed has no overall:
velocity
acceleration
displacement
orientation
Tammy went on walk and wonders how fast her average walking speed is. What would help her figure this out?
