    Study Notes

    Motion

    • Motion occurs when an object changes position relative to a fixed point.
    • Time is usually measured in seconds for motion events.
    • Graphs display information visually.

    Motion Graphs

    • In motion graphs, time is usually shown on the x-axis.
    • Distance is measured in meters.
    • The slope of a distance-time graph shows the speed of an object.

    Speed and Displacement

    • Speed is the rate of change of distance over time.
    • Displacement is the distance and direction of the change in an object's position.
    • Displacement is a vector quantity, including both magnitude and direction.
    • Speed is a scalar quantity, only including magnitude not direction.
