25
What is energy change/transformation?
When one form of energy changes into another. - The arrows represent that a change/transformation is taking place. (--->)
26
What is position?
An object's distance & direction from a reference point.
27
What is motion?
The state in which one object's distance and direction from another is changing.
28
Motion fact:
Motion depends on one's point of view!
29
What is a reference point?
A place of object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. (the starting point you choose to describe the position of location of an object)
30
What is displacement?
The shortest distance/movement between two points. (a comparison between your starting position & your ending position)
31
What is distance?
The total movement/distance from one point to the next point.
