| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is motion? | An object's change in position relative to a frame of reference (reference point). |
| What is the frame of reference (reference point)? | A place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion. |
| What is speed? | Rate at which an object moves a certain distance speed= distance/time. |
| What is constant speed? | Moving at a steady rate over time. |
| What is average speed? | The overall rate at which an object moves; calculated by dividing the total distance an object travels by the total time. |
| What is instantaneous speed? | The rate at which an object is moving at a given moment in time. |
| What is velocity? | Speed in a given direction. |
| What is original velocity? | Velocity of an object at the beginning of a time interval. |
| What is final velocity? | Velocity of an object at the end of a time interval. |
| What is acceleration? | The rate at which velocity changes (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction). |
| What is circular motion? | Any motion in which an object is moving along a curved path. |
| What is time? | The duration in which all things happen. |
| What is distance? | How far an object moves. |
| What is deceleration? | Negative acceleation (slowing down) |
