DESCIPTOR OF MOTION Flashcards
It is the fixed position of an object
FRAME OF REFEENCE
WHEN AN OBJECT DOE NOT CHANGE ITS POSITION AND STAYED AT THE POINT OF REFERENCE TE OBJECT IS
motionless, at rest, or stationary.
are terms used to describe objects that are in motion.
Motion descriptors
tells how far two objects (or points) are from one another. It describes the total
space covered by a moving object. It is usually expressed in centimeters, meters, and
kilometers.
Distance
is distance with direction.
Displacement
is also an essential factor in describing motion. It refers to the duration of a period or
how long an object is moving.
Time
CHANGE IN POSITION NEASURES HOW FAST AN OBJECT MOVES = DISTANCE COVERED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME
SPEED
is the speed with direction.
velocity
acceleration
is the rate of change in velocity over a certain period of time. Change in velocity occurs when a moving
object speeds up, suddenly stops, or makes a turn.
refers to the change in the position of an object in relation to the frame of
reference or fixed point.
