A
How fast and what direction an object is moving in
4
Q
Define Direction.
A
The location of something relative to something else.
5
Q
Define Acceleration.
A
The rate of change of velocity.
6
Q
Why is a frame of reference important when discussing motion?
A
It is important because the position of a moving object can be defined only when there is a fixed reference frame.
7
Q
Give an example of how different frames of reference would lead to a different motion being observed.
A
They will both measure to be traveling at different speeds.
