1 8.1 Motion “reference frame” – more commonly called “ frame of reference” Motion is related to some stationary (unmoving) object, called the frame of reference. http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/java/relativeVelo city/relativeVelocity.html

2 Change in Position When we describe “motion”, we relate it in terms of some frame of reference that is not moving – Ex. She drove 3 miles away from my house. Move the pencil (from where it is now) 4 centimeters to the left.

3 Motion or Movement is a Change In Position Called Displacement 10 ft. Position A Position B

4 Speed is the Rate of Displacement 10 ft. Position A Position B 10 0 Seconds

5 Speed Equations A simple and useful version of the Speed Equation Looks Like This

6 If You Want to Know the Distance Traveled You Can Rewrite the Equation Like This

7 “Speedometer”

8 Travel at a constant speed

9 Changing speeds

11 Velocity is the Rate of Displacement in a Specified Direction 10 ft. Position A Position B 10 0 Seconds East South West North

12 Momentum Product of an object’s mass and its velocity.
