Motion Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| set of criteria used to describe the position and motion of an object | frame of reference |
| where an object is located | position |
| SI unit for time | seconds (s) |
| SI unit for distance | meters (m) |
| SI unit for speed and velocity | meters/second (m/s) |
| quantity that has magnitude only | scalar quantity |
| quantity that has magnitude and direction | vector quantity |
| change in position | motion |
| study of matter and energy ; how things work | physics |
| total path of motion | distance |
| shortest path of motion between start and end points | displacement |
| the way to draw vector diagrams | "tip to tail" method |
| displacement when object comes back to its starting point | zero |
| describes an object that is NOT moving | at rest |
| examples of scalar quantities | speed and distance (examples of....) |
| examples of vector quantities | velocity, acceleration & displacement (examples of...) |
| south and west | considered "negative" directions |
| north and east | considered "positive" directions |
| movement in a straight line | linear motion |
| movement that forms a right triangle | 90 degree motion |
| a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ; used to find magnitude of displacement in 90 degree motion | Pythagorean Theorem |
