How can an objects motion be described?
Homework: Finish, “What I Learned,” List Started in class in notebook. Read pgs in textbook Do Now: Write down homework, Open textbook to pg. 6 Update TOC: pg. 20- Chapter 1-Motion Title page Pg. 21- Describing Motion
What I know: An object is moving when it changes position Objects move at different speeds This effects how long it takes for an object to travel a certain distance..
The one who walked faster got there quicker, traveling the same distance in less time.
Motion- An object is in motion if its distance from another object is changing. Reference point- is a place or object used for comparison to determine is something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point.
Are students on a bus moving compared to a person standing on the side walk? Why? ◦ Yes, because the distance between the students and the person on the sidewalk is changing Are the students seated on the bus moving compared to the bus? Why? ◦ No, because the distance between the bus and the students does not change.
Objects that are stationary, (not moving). Examples:
If you choose a moving reference point, ◦ You may think that you are moving when you are not ◦ Or that you are moving faster or slower than you really are. Read over pg. 7 to pg. 8
Something I learned about motion Another thing I learned about motion One more thing I learned about motion
Homework: Speed worksheet. Do Now: Write down homework, Update TOC : pg. 22- Calculating speed Open textbook to pages 10 & 11: Then Define: all highlighted terms and write the speed equation, on pg. 22 Today I will Calculate an objects speed
To measure distance the SI unit used is for length is meter (m). Motion is compared to a reference point
The distance an object travels per unit of time. If you know the distance an object travels in a certain amount of time you can calculate the speed
Speed = Distance/ Time What is the Speed of a asteroid traveling 4500km in 6 seconds? What are two ways to increase this speed? ◦ Increase the distance ◦ Decrease the time
Average Speed: The total distance divided by the total time Instantaneous Speed: The rate that an object is moving at a given instant of time.
