🗑
What is the relationship between a reference point and motion?   Motion occurs when an object changes postion over time when compared with a reference point.  
🗑
How is it possible to be accelerating but traveling at a constant speed?   Acceleration can occur simply by a change in direction.  
🗑
How can you find the center of mass of an object?   You can find the center by spinning the object.
