Motion

In this unit on motion, you will learn how to measure, compare and report changes in your own position and the movement of objects around you. You should have a conceptual, mathematical or graphical understanding of the following topics.

PowerPoint on Motion

Speed & Velocity

Speed is a rate. It is the distance an object travels in a given amount of time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object.

Acceleration

The change in an object's velocity over time.

Distance & Displacement

Distance is the number of units travelled between two points in space. Displacement is the shortest distance and compass direction an object is from its starting point.

Reference Frames

Reference frames are coordinate systems used to measure distances and changes in an object's position. They can have up to three dimensions of space and a fourth dimension of time. The fixed reference point is called the origin.

Distance - Time Graphs

A visual method of describing a change in position over time. The slope of the line is the speed of the object.
