Motion
Definition: The state in which one object’s distance from another is changing
Example 1: (from book) You and book are actually in motion because you are on earth which is orbiting the sun
Visual Representation
Pg. 17
Reference point
Definition: A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion
Example 1: (from book) moving train and using nearby building as a reference point to tell if you are moving
Visual Representation
Pg. 18
Speed
Definition: The distance the object traveled per unit of time. S=distance/time
Example 1: 90 km/h
Visual Representation
Pg. 20
velocity
Definition: speed in a given direction
Example 1: (from book) velocity of aircraft vs. velocity of storm systems
