| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is motion? | the state in which one objects distance from another object is changing |
| how do you know something is in motion? | if an object changes its position relative to you (or some other reference point) then it is moving relative to you. |
| how do you describe motion? | motion is the movement away or toward an object. |
| motion involves changing a distance to a...? | non-moving reference point |
| what is a reference point? | a place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion. |
| in SI units distance is measured in: | meters, centimeters, millimeters, kilometers |
| what are the metric conversions? | 1000m = 1km 100cm = 1m 1000mm = 1m |
| how do you calculate speed? | speed= distance/time |
| if the speed = 45meters/15sec what is your final answer? | 45 divided by 15= 3 m/sec |
| what is velocity? | the speed and direction of movement |
| when measuring velocity you must...? | include a direction such as east, west, south, or north (EX.- 7.6 M/SEC WESTWARD) |
