MOTION
Occurs when an object changes its position relative to a reference point.
REFERENCE POINT – A place or object that can be used to determine if an object is in motion.

Distance vs. Time
Distance – How far did the object go?
Time – How long did it take you to get there?
20 miles
0.5 hours

SPEED
The distance an object travels per unit time
Average Speed = total distance (d) / total time (t)
s = d/t

Graphing Motion
Motion of an object can be plotted in a distance – time graph.
X-axis Time Y-axis Distance
Dis
tanc
e
Time
The slope of a line on a distance-time graph gives the speed of an object in motion
