Describing Motion

When an object's position does not change relative to a chosen reference point.

The total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

The total displacement divided by the total time taken.

The orientation of movement, such as north, south, east, or west.

The straight-line change in position from an object's starting point to its ending point, including direction.

The total length of the path travelled by an object.

The speed of an object at a particular moment in time.

The branch of physics that describes motion without considering the forces that cause it.

A change in an object's position over time.

Measurements such as distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and time used to analyse motion.
