V Motion is a change in position relative to a

frame of reference
V "
   a set of objects used to
measure a change in position.

 

  
 
  
V  is the distance an object travels in a time
period.
 S = d/ t
 Units m/s
V d  of an object is the speed and direction
of motion.
© Ex: A car travels 60 m/s north on I-75 and then turns
around and goes south at 60 m/s. Does the car have
the same speed? Same velocity?
© Ans: Same speed, different velocities b/c different
directions
V ›elative speed and velocity depend on a
frame of reference.
1. Standing frame of reference
a. Objects moving in the same directions, add (+) speeds
b. Objects moving in opposite directions, subtract (-)
speeds
