Study Notes

Motion

An object is considered to be in motion if its distance from another object is changing over time.

Reference Point

A reference point is utilized to determine motion by comparing the position of an object with a fixed place or object.

International System of Units (SI)

Scientists utilize the International System of Units (SI) to quantify and describe the distance an object moves.

Meter

The meter is the standard unit of length in the SI system and is slightly longer than a yard.

Average Speed

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Instantaneous Speed

Instantaneous speed refers to the speed of an object at a specific moment in time.

Velocity

Velocity is defined as speed with a specified direction, combining both how fast an object is moving and where it is heading.

Slope

The slope of a line on a graph indicates the steepness and shows how one variable changes in relation to another.

Speed

Speed is the measure of how fast an object is traveling, represented as the distance covered per unit of time.
