Is it true or false that motion is measured in relationship to a point of reference?
yes it is
What is needed to determine whether an objects is in motion?
A Reference Point A reference point is needed to determine if an object is in motion.
When motion is measured the starting point is called the?
reference point
What term is defined as a changed in an objects position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What term defines as a change in an objects position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What is the stationary object against which motion can be measured?
There is no such thing as a "stationary" object. Every motion is always measured relative to something else, which, coincidentally, is what the question is all about. The thing against which motion is measured is called the "reference frame".
The objects an observer uses to detect motion?
Are you talking about a reference point?
Is the frame of reference needed to describe motion accurrately and completely?
That's right, motion cannot be measured unless you have some frame of reference within which to measure it.
How can you explain an object's motion using time and distance?
An objects speed or motion is measured by distance divided by time.
Is motion is measured relative to a reference point?
Yes. On Earth, the reference point is easy to define: it is either the ground, sky, or things. In space, it's not so easy, but we often use the Sun as a reference. Beyond the Sun, perhaps the motion of our solar system could be measured using the Milky Way galaxy as a reference.

A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
