Motion

1. What is Motion?

   • Motion is the change in distance between one object and another.
   • Reference point
     • A reference point is either an object or place that is used to determine if an object is in motion.
     • Reference points are usually stationary.
       • Trees
       • House/Buildings

2. Isaac Newton

   • Born in 1642 and passed in 1727
   • Created the 3 Laws of Motion
     • First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)
       • States that objects will stay stationary unless external force is acted upon.
       • Inertia is the resistance of an object to change its state of motion
     • Second Law of Motion (Law of Acceleration)
       • Amount of force applied produces an objects acceleration and whole mass.
       • Force = Mass x Acceleration
     • Third Law of Motion (Law of Interaction)
       • "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." -Isaac Newton
       • Action + Reaction = Action-Reaction Pair

3. Measuring Distance

   • Scientists use the International System of Unit. Mainly using meters to measure the length (distance)
   • Speed Formula Speed = Distance / Time
     • Average Speed
       • To find the average speed, you will need to divide the total distance by the total time.
     • Instantaneous Speed
       • The rate of an object moving with a given time.
     • Velolcity
       • The knowledge of the speed and direction of an object's motion.
       • Used to describe speed
         • Increase/Decrease
         • Changes
         • Change in DIrection
     • The motion of an object can be graphed, with distance versus time.
       • The slope is the steepness of the iine.
         • Slope = Rise / Run
