Physics Unit Review

A place or object used for comparison to determine if another object is in motion is called a

• comparison point
• reference point
• point of view
• motion detector

The best reference points are stationary (not moving).

• true

• false

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

What is motion?

• the stopping of an object to a frame of reference

• a change in position relative to a frame of reference

• the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge

• a change in the time in which it takes to get an office referral
