What does the term uniform mean to you? If motion is described as uniform, how does it behave?
Distance can be described using a variety of units. Examples include: Time is usually described in physics by looking at _______________________________. This is the duration of an event. The symbol for a time interval is __________________. Like distance, time can also be measured using a variety of units. Examples include:
Uniform Motion
When an object is moving in one direction at a __________________ speed, this is called uniform motion. The object will not change _______________ or _________________. What is an example of this?
Measurement Types
Motion involves a change in position. Position is where an object is located in relation to a _____________________________. Change in position can be described using two different types of measurements: scalar quantities and vector quantities. __________________ quantities describe a measurement using only a number. This is the size of the measurement, also known as _____________________________. Example:
__________________ quantities describe a measurement using a magnitude and a ___________________ of the movement. Direction is usually given a positive or negative value. Example:
Total distance is calculated by adding the distances the walker has moved since they started walking. Displacement is calculated by subtracting the initial position from the position at the current step.
Question:
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
