Lesson 1: Position, Distance
and Displacement

◼Motion – an object’s change in


position relative to a reference point
Reference point

Reference point
◼A place or object
used for comparison
to determine if
something is in
motion
◼Ex. Stationary
object such as tree or
building
Reference Point

◼The Earth’s surface is used as a


common reference point

◼A moving object can be used as a


reference point as well
Relative motion

Relative motion
◼The motion of an object as compared
to another
◼Ex. You are moving relative to the sun
(comparing your motion with the sun
as your reference point)
All Motion is relative
◼In our environment, the reference for
motion is the earth’s surface, and
speeds are measured relative to the
earth
◼The earth moves at 107,000 km/h
relative to the sun
Relative Motion
Position
◼Movement involves a change in
position.

Position
◼A place where someone or
something is located

Units
Displacement

Distance
Vector vs. Scalar

◼Scalar quantity – is quantity that


has the size or magnitude but no
direction
Ex. Distance (50 km)

◼Vector quantity – is a quantity that


has both size (magnitude) and
direction
Ex. Displacement (50 km due north)
Distance vs. Displacement
Distance
◼Is a measurement of the length
between two points (the actual path
taken)
Distance vs. Displacement
Displacement (x)
◼is the object’s change in position
from it’s initial position to the final
position
◼x = final position – initial position
◼x = xf - xi
The SI unit of
distance and
displacement
is meter.
Distance = A -> B -> C = 7 m
Displacement = A ->C = 5
Vector and +/- direction and
Coordinates
Pythagorean Theorem
