Objectives Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance and displacement Differentiate quantities in terms of magnitude and direction Displayed some positive attitude in solving problems involving measurements in the metric system
Presentation of output
MOTION- defined as the change in position for a time interval REFERENCE POINT- the starting point of the origin for measuring motion
SCALAR QUANTITY - quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. Example : My car can travel 100km/hr. VECTOR QUANTITY - quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only and direction Example : The boy is moving to the right of the road. SI Unit: meter (m)/kilometer (km)
A cat climbing at a tree. The baby is crawling on the floor . The stone is dropped 5 meters high.
DISTANCE- refers to the length of the entire path that the object travelled DISPLACEMENT- refers to the shortes t distance between the objects initial position and final position, no matter what path it took to get to that destination. How Far?
A horse runs 10m going south. A girl runs 20 meters from the church. A bus travels 100km. A jet plane travels 300 miles. A duck walks 2 m to the riverbank.
