Voc.-Graphing Motion

TermDefinition
position the location of an object You must have a reference point and a direction to describe the position of an object Ex: The filing cabinet is four floor tiles behind the classroom door.
reference point the point used to find or describe the location of an object. Ex: The car is parked behind the tree. The tree is the reference point.
direction the path an object moves toward or faces Ex: North, South, East, West, on top of, behind, under, beside etc.
motion a change of position Ex: The person was to the left of the lamp post. Now the person to the right of the lamp post. There was a change of position, so motion has occurred.
force a push or pull Ex: gravity, friction, magnetism, electricity, water, wind etc.
balanced force equal forces on an object that does not change the motion of the object. Ex: If 1 person pushing on a car does not move the car, it means no motion has occurred. The forces are equal or balanced.
unbalanced force forces on an object that causes change in the motion of the object. Ex: If 4 people push on a car, and it moves, motion has occurred because the four people have a greater force than the car.
resting position when an object remains in the same place (spot) or position Ex: an ant stops moving on a rock for a period of time. This is its resting position.
speed the rate of change of position (or distance traveled) with respect to time. Distance divided by time.
distance-time graph Illustrates changes in motion. The time in on the x axis and the the distance in on the y axis.
speed-time graph a graph that shows the speed of an object on the y axis and the time on the x axis.
x-axis the horizontal line with labels on a coordinate grid. Time is represented on the x axis. You always walk over to the elevator number first. (Read the horizontal first)
y-axis the vertical line with labels on a coordinate grid. Distance and speed are represented on the y-axis. (after you go to the elevator number you push the button for the floor you want to go up to) Read the vertical line last.
