Study Notes
Key Motion Concepts
-
Distance is defined as the total length of the path traveled by an object over a specific time period, usually measured in units such as meters or kilometers.
-
Displacement describes the change in position of an object over time in a specific direction, measured as a straight line from the initial position to the final position.
-
An object moving in one direction with constant speed maintains the same rate of distance covered over time, meaning its velocity remains unchanged.
-
Uniform motion is characterized by an object moving at a constant speed along a straight path, meaning both distance and direction are consistent over time.
-
Speed indicates how quickly an object is moving regardless of direction, typically expressed in terms like meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
