Worksheet
Section 1
Describing Motion
A.
when an object changes its position relative to a reference point
1.
-how far an object has moved
starting point
-distance and direction of an object's change in position from the
distance an object travels per unit of time
1.
- any change over time
2. Calculation for speed: speed = distance !
3. Speed that doesn't change over time-
speed
4. Speed is usually not constant; usually an object has
speed.
5.
-speed of motion when speed is changing
speed = total
/ total travel time
I
speed at any given point in time
C. A distance-time displays motion of an object over time.
1. Plot distance on a(n)
axis.
2. Plot time on a(n) Page 1 avas1
