  1. MOTION Think of a time you went to an amusement park. Describe three rides and how they caused you to move.

  2. Motion and Position A reference point is needed to determine the position of an object. Motion occurs when an object changes its position relative to a reference point. Frame of reference- a coordinate system in which the position of the object is measured. The x-axis and y-axis are drawn so that they intersect the reference point

  3. Distance- An important part of describing the motion of an object to describe how far it has moved. Displacement- The distance and direction of an objects change in position from the starting point. HOW DO DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT DIFFER? Distance describes how far an object has moved; Displacement includes distance and direction of an object’s change in position from its starting point.

  4. SPEED • The distance an object travels per unit of time. Calculating speed- Speed ( In meters/seconds)= Distance/time s=d/t • If a motorcyclist travels 20 km/h to a friends home 5 km away, how long will the trip take? 2. A car traveling a constant speed covers a distance of 750m in 25s. What’s the cars speed?

  5. Typical speeds • Airplane- 548 mph • Car- 60 mph • Person walking- 2.9mph

  6. Motion with a constant speed- If an item travels in a speed that does not slow down, nor speed up. For example: A car traveling on a highway • Changing speed: intervals of speeding up and slowing down. For example-A car at a stop sign. • Average speed- The total distance traveled divided by the total time of travel. • Instantaneous speed- the speed at a given point in time • Changing instantaneous speed- the speed is different at every point in time.

  7. Distance –time graph

  8. Graphing motionTime is always plotted on the horizontal ais of the graph. Distance traveled is plotted on the vertical axis of the graph. • The slope of a line plotted on a distance- time graph is the speed.

  9. Graphing motion

  10. Velocity • - includes the speed of an object and the direction of its motion. • * For an object to have constant velocity, speed and direction must not be changing. HOW ARE SPEED AND VELOCITY DIFFERENT? Velocity includes direction; speed does not

  11. How can you tell if you are accelerating while riding in a vehicle? Acceleration- is a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time. When a car slows down, is it accelerating?

  12. speed time graphs

  13. Motion of the Earth’s crust • Geological evidence has shown that the Earth’s continents have moved slowly over time. • Pangea began to separate into smaller pieces . The continents are still moving today! • The Earth’s crust moves over putty like interior
