  2. Describing Motion • All motion is the same in certain ways. All motion is change in position. • You can tell that something has moved if it’s position changes relative to something else. • A stationary object or a group of objects used to determine a position change is called a frame of reference. • A frame of reference is a point of view. It can change depending on the viewer.

  3. Describing Motion • Speed is the distance something moves in a certain period of time. • Speed = distance /time (km/hr). • Speed tells how fast or slow an object’s motion is, but it doesn’t tell you the direction of motion.

  4. Describing Motion • When you state the direction of a moving object as well as its speed, you’re stating its velocity. • Velocity = speed with direction. • An object’s velocity changes when there’s a change in its speed, its direction, or both. • Scientists use arrows to represent velocity. The length of the arrow represents the speed measurement. The direction it points represents the direction measurement.

  5. What forces do • A force is just a push or pull. • Gravity and magnetism are forces. • Forces act on objects. They slow things down, speed them up, stop them, start them and turn them. • Forces can change the object’s velocity.

  6. What forces do • Change of velocity is called acceleration. • Acceleration is an object’s change in velocity divided by the time it takes for that change to occur.

  7. What forces do • Isaac Newton (1642-1727) is considered one of the greatest of all scientists. • One of his laws states that the greater the force on an object, the greater its acceleration. • This law also says that if two objects are acted on by the same force, the object with less mass accelerates more.

  8. Inertia • An object won’t change its motion unless a force acts on it. • This tendency of matter to resist a change in its state of motion is called inertia. • The law of motion (law of inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity, unless an object is acted on by an outside force. • This means; an object will not accelerate unless a force acting on it.
