In theory, you can never truly detect if an object is in motion. Although I may travel in my car on the highway, I am not wrong to say that instead of myself moving across the earth, the earth is moving under me! Relativity proves to us that it is impossible to accurately show if an object is in motion or not. From a mathematical perspective, an object that you assume to be moving must be set relative to another object. This is in order to make accurate calculations about the object in question.
It is a "reference point."
On the street level, use a landmark, such as a statute, or a stationary object, such as a lamppost. Any motion detected is relative to what we perceive as stationary. However, we are hard pressed to say anything is truly at rest in the universe. For practicality, we can pick a distant star as an object "approximately" at rest. Since the star is many light-years away, any motion of the star can be deemed very small.
wow...8th grade science online test question?
a "Point of Refrence" or "Reference Point"
Reference point
A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion is called a reference point.
That would be a reference point.
referance point
cracy
newton
Apperant motion
A reference point must be chosen to determine the motion of an object.
A Reference Point A reference point is needed to determine if an object is in motion.
it is something called vertical motion
The curved path is called projectile motion.
reference point
A landmark - or reference point.

A reference point
one term is average velocity, expressed in meters per second, miles per hour, whatever is handy. That is the wrong answer.Its Motion get it right before u answer
There are various ways to determine motion. The common way is having a reference point and the change from that position is what will determine the motion.
Apperant motion
motion =)
Motion it the change of an object over time relative to its reference point. that is called a reference point.
Newton's First Law is called his First Law of Motion. It states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless influenced by something else that slows or stops its motion. Likewise, an object at rest - not moving - tends to stay at rest unless influenced by something else that starts it moving.
A Reference Point A reference point is needed to determine if an object is in motion.
