Knowledge and Skills Statement

Science concepts. The student knows and applies the laws governing motion in a variety of situations.

Motion is measured relative to a frame of reference. For example, when someone is standing on the ground, anything they view or measure will be compared to the reference point of the ground. If someone is standing in a moving train, the train is the frame of reference and everything will be compared to it.

a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that is a measurement of the change in motion of an object (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction); the result of an unbalanced force; calculated as the rate of change in the velocity over time or by dividing the force applied by the mass of the object

a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that describes the net change in position of an object; the difference between the final and initial positions of an object, regardless of the actual path covered to reach the final position; measured in a straight line

 a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are; the degree or amount of separation between two points, lines, surfaces, or objects; a measure of the length of the path that an object takes without regard for the starting or ending place or the direction of its travel

an act, process, or instance of changing position or location

a scalar quantity (number, magnitude) that is an instantaneous measurement of the rate of change in the motion of an object, calculated when the distance traveled is divided by the time taken

a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that is the directional speed of an object in motion; indicates the rate of change in position of the object measured from a particular frame of reference in a particular standard of time
