Velocity is the change of distance over change in time (distance/unit time) and Acceleration is the change in velocity/unit time.

Why do you need to include a reference point when you describe the motion of an object?
Motion is relative. There must be something to compare it to.
An object is in motion only if its distance from a reference point is?
An object is in motion only if its distance from a reference point is changing. The average speed of the object is given by the object's rate of change of displacement from the reference point over time.
Motion occurs when an object changes its what?
Motion occurs when the object is displaced from its initial point. Let's say we have point A. The object lies there. Then in the next frame, the object is at point B. The object then has moved from point A to point B. Two things are required of motion: Space and time. For motion to occur, an object must move from one point in space to another point in space over an interval of time.
What is a reference point for relative motion?
A reference point is the point where the object begins its motion from.
What is needed to determine whether an object is in motion?
A Reference Point A reference point is needed to determine if an object is in motion.
What point must be chosen to determine the motion of an object?
A reference point must be chosen to determine the motion of an object.
When is an object in motion considered to be a point object?
when the object is at rest
Why is a refernce point needed to describe motion?
a reference point is needed in motion because to find out how far an object has moved you need a reference point I don't know if that's true cause that's what I think.
A starting point used to describe the position of an object?
Reference PointA reference point is used to describe the position of an object.
How is motion and reference point compared?
You can determine if an object is in MOTION by focusing on the REFERENCE POINT(:
An object is in motion when its distance from a what is changing?
An object is in motion when its distance from its point of origin is changing.
A place or object that can be used to determine if an object is in motion?
a "Point of Refrence" or "Reference Point"
How is a reference point used to determine motion?
A reference point is used to determine motion by calculating the distance between the object that is being observed for motion and the reference point. A moving object is not normally considered a good reference point.
How do you know if an object is in motion?
it has a referance point
How far an object is from a reference point?
the answer to that is motion
An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a what?
An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point, which is a place or object to measure from.
How do you know something is in motion at an given time?
You have to use a reference point. Pick anything around the area (it's better if it's stationary), and then check to see if the other object changes position at all (in comparison to the reference point). If it does change position, then the object is in motion.
What is the comparison of an object's motion over time to another object?
Motion it the change of an object over time relative to its reference point. that is called a reference point.
What is the definition of Simple Harmonic Motion?
Simple Harmonic Motion is any motion where the force on the object in motion is always toward one point (the center of the motion) and depends on how far the object is from that point. A playground swing or clock pendulum are fine examples.
What is a reference point?
a place or object used for a comparrison or motion of a person or object.
How can you tell that an object is in motion?
if it shifts from its reference point
What is an object in motion moving relative to?
It is a reference point.
What is meant by oscillatory motion?
To-and-fro motion of an object about a fixed point is known as Oscillatory motion.
What is when an object changes its position over time relative to a static reference point?
the answer is motionAn angle.DisplacementMotion is a change in the position of an object in relation to a reference point.
What is used to measure an object's motion?
I believe you find that an object is in motion if the distance between it and a reference point is changing. A reference point is another object that is not moving that you would use to calculate if an object is moving.
