An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.

When an object changes position over time relative to a reference point the object is?
motion
When an object change position relative to a reference point?
motion
When a perceived object changes position equals but you still see it as unchanged it is called?
This is called relative motion. Relative to your frame of reference, the object's motion appears unchanged, even though it's motion has actually changed.
The change in position of one object compared to the position of another?
Relative Motion or Referance Point
How you describe the motion of the object?
When it changes position or something to do with the speed.
Why does motion occurs?
motion occurs when an object changes its position relative to a reference point.
When an object changes its position relative to a point?
motion
When an object changes position over time relative to a reference point the object is?
motion
An object is in motion if it changes position relative t a?
Observer.
How can you tell when an object is in motion?
Its position changes relative to a frame of reference.
When an object changes it's position relative to a reference point?
motion
Why is motion important?
Motion is important because it helps us define if were moving or not. With out motion we couldn't be able to move.An object is in motion if its position changes it relative to another object.
When we can say the object is in motion?
When its position is changing relative to our position. Note: all motion is relative to something else.
When an object is in motion what changes?
If an object is in motion than its position is changing.
When an object change position relative to a reference point?
motion
When a perceived object changes position equals but you still see it as unchanged it is called?
This is called relative motion. Relative to your frame of reference, the object's motion appears unchanged, even though it's motion has actually changed.
Explain how you could use pictures from security camera to determine if an object had been moved from one hour to the next using a tree as a reference point?
Something that is in motion changes position, the position of the object is described relative to another object. If you chose the tree as a reference point, then the object in the pictures has been in motion because it has changed postions relative to the tree.
