What is the transformation that moves points the same distance and in the same direction?
translation
What moves all points of a figure the same distance and in the same direction?
A translation.
What moves points a specified distance along a line parallel to a specified line?
Suppose the specified line has gradient m. Also suppose the specified distance is d.Then x = sqrt[d2/(1 + m2)] and y = m*x.A translation, by a distance x in the horizontal direction and y=mx in the vertical direction will move the point by the specified distance in the direction of the specified line.
Which transformation moves points perpendicularly across a specified line a distance equal to its original distance from the specified line?
Reflection
What is a rotation of 270 Degrees counterclockwise?
(x,y)-->(y,-x) A transformation in which every point moves along a circular path around a fixed point
Which transformation moves every point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction on a coordinate plane.?
A translation.
What is an operation that moves every point of the figure the same distance in the same direction?
It is a translation on the Cartesian plane
What does translation mean in geometry?
On the Cartesian plane a translation moves every point on a shape in the same distance and direction
How do you translate a figure in a cordinate plane?
A translation moves every point on a shape in the same distance and in the same direction on the Cartesian plane
What is the transformation that moves points the same distance and in the same direction?
translation
What moves all points of a figure the same distance and in the same direction?
A translation.
How do you call the distance an object travels in a unit of time?
'Speed' . If you also specify the direction in which it moves by that distance, then you have 'velocity'.
What is the physical science definition for work?
The product of distance and the force in the direction an object moves.
What is reflection and translation in math?
On the Cartesian plane a relfection in a line produces a mirror image On the Cartesian plane a translation moves every point on a shape the same distance and in the same direction
Work definition scientifical?
Work = (magnitude of force in the direction of motion) times (distance it moves)
What direction do plate tectonics move in?
They don't move in a specific direction. Every plate moves in it's own direction and sometimes they can change directions.
What is the distance an objects moves divided by the time it took to move that distance?
This describes the average speed. If there is a direction specified that the distance has moved, then it will be a vector, and called average velocity.
