Questions and Answers

How is speed defined in relation to distance?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with respect to time.

What is the formula to calculate average speed?

The formula for average speed is Total Distance divided by Total Time.

Why is displacement important in understanding motion?

Displacement provides a more accurate depiction of motion by considering the shortest distance from the initial to the final position.

Study Notes

Motion

  • Motion is a change in an object's position over time.
  • Motion is described using displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time, and speed.

Description of Motion

  • Motion describes the change in an object's position relative to its surroundings over time.
  • Motion can be described using distance, displacement, and speed.

Speed

  • Speed is the rate of change of distance.
  • Formula: Speed = Distance / Time
  • Units: Meters/Second (m/s)

Average Speed

  • Average speed is the ratio of total distance covered to the total time taken.
  • Formula: Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
  • Units: Meters/Second (m/s)
