Questions and Answers

How can motion be defined?

  • As the distance traveled by an object only.
  • As the direction of movement without position change.
  • As a change in position over time. (correct)
  • As the speed of an object only.

    • What is the role of a reference frame in measuring an object's position?

  • It provides a set of moving objects for comparison.
  • It is a stationary group of objects against which motion is measured. (correct)
  • It determines the speed of the moving object.
  • It eliminates the need for any specific points of measurement.

    • What is the difference between distance and displacement?

  • Distance considers the path traveled, whereas displacement considers the shortest path between start and end positions. (correct)
  • Distance is a vector quantity, while displacement is a scalar quantity.
  • Displacement only measures speed, while distance measures time.
  • Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement. (correct)
