Notes/Summary

VENN DIAGRAM- PAGE 20 (IN ISN)

Distance is a scalar quantity
that refers to "how much
ground an object has
covered" during its motion.
Displacement is a
vector quantity that refers to
"how far out of place an
object is"; it is the object's
overall change in position

MOTION

MOTION IS A CHANGE IN AN OBJECTS POSITION

RELATIVE TO A REFERENCE POINT.
MOTION HAS A REFERENCE POINT. MOTION IS
DESCRIBED WITH DIRECTION AND DISTANCE OR
DISPLACEMENT.
MOTION IS MOVEMENT.
EXAMPLES: MAIL TRUCK MOVES FROM THE MAILBOX
TO THE HOUSE, 10 METERS SOUTH. A BALLERINA
MOVES FROM 0 METERS TO 10 METERS ACROSS THE
DANCE FLOOR TO THE SOUTH SIDE.
NONEXAMPLES: THE MAILTRUCK STAYS AT THE
MAILBOX AND DOESNT MOVE. THE CAR STAYS AT 0
METER. LAST, THE BALLERINA IS STANDING AND NOT
MOVING.

POSITION
POSITION IS THE LOCATION OF AN
OBJECT IN RELATION TO A REFERENCE
POINT.
POSITION HAS DISTNACE AND
DIRECTION. 10 METERS NORTH.
EXAMPLES: THE CATS POSITION WAS 3
METERS WEST OF THE HOUSE.
ANOTHER, THE DOGS POSITION WAS 20
KILOMETERS NORTH. LAST, THE BABY
CRAWLS 100 KILOMETERS NORTHWEST.
NONEXAMPLES: THE CATS POSITION
WAS AT 3, THE DOGS POSITION WAS AT
20. THE BABY CRAWLS.

FRAME OF REFERENCE
FRAME OF REFERENCE IS A COORDINATE SYSTEM IN
WHICH THE POSITION OF THE OBJECT IS MEASURED.
FRAME OF REFERENCE HAS A REFERENCE POINT.
EXAMPLES: ANY POINT YOUR MEASUREMENT IS
FROM, IF THE ROAD IS YOUR FRAME OF REFERENCE,
THEN THE BUS THAT PASSES YOU IS MOVING AT 100
MILES PER HOUR. LAST EXAMPLE: IF THE MAILBOX IS
THE FRAME OF REFERENCE, THEN THE MAIL TRUCK
PASSES IN FRONT OF YOUR HOME IS GOING 20
MILES PER HOUR.
NONEXAMPLES: NO POINT YOU START OR BASE
YOUR MEASUREMENT FROM, THE BUS IS MY FRAME
OF REFERENCE BECAUSE IT IS PASSING BY ME, LAST,
THE MAIL TRUCK IS MY FRAME OF REFERENCE
BECAUSE THE TRUCK MOVES IN FRONT OF ME.

DISTANCE VS. DISPLACEMENT

DISTANCE:
LENGTH BETWEEN TWO POINTS.
HAS NO DIRECTION
SCALAR

SAME:
BOTH HAVE REFERENCE POINTS
BOTH HAVE QUANTITY AND UNIT

DISPLACEMENT
THE OVERALL CHANGE IN POSITION
HAS DIRECTION: NORTH, EAST,
SOUTH, WEST
