What term is defined as a change in a object position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What are the characteristics of motion?
One is that it has to be defined relative to a given frame of reference.
Which term is defined as a change in an objects position relative to a refrences point?
Displacement
A change in the position of an object when compared to a reference point is defined as speed.?
false
What is meant by the object is stationary?
Stationary is only meaningful in regard to a defined "Reference Frame", or "Point of Reference". The object is not moving relative to that Frame or Point.
What is the definition of the word 'status'?
position relative to that of others example: Her status is to that of a very sloppy eater. -the defined position or rank in a society
How is the age of an event defined using relative time?
Relative to when it happened. You have to give a reference point for something to be relative to another. It is also very helpful when using relative dating to locate samples of fossils or matter such as when your using millions of years.
Does the displacement arrow depend on the choice of reference point?
Yes and no.Some use "displacement" only to describe a change in the position of an object from some initial starting point to some ending point. That is, there is a distinction between "position" and "displacement." The position would be defined relative to a reference point. In that case the arrow depends only on where the particle was and where it ended up and the reference point does not matter.Others use a definition for displacement which describes the difference between an object's position and a fixed reference point. That is, how far an object is displaced from a certain point even if the object had never been at that point. A distinction between position and displacement is not made. For this latter definition, the choice of reference point will make a difference in the direction of the arrow.In physics problems one usually only cares about the changes in position (and velocity, etc) and the choice of reference point will not affect these.
Define rigid body?
The relative position of the points on any object will not change at any application of force then,it is called rigid body.OR,It is defined as a system of particle,which does not deform.....,
What is status?
The position of an individual in relation to others in regard to social or professional standing the defined position or rank in a society a+
What is relative viscosity?
Relative viscosity is defined as ratio of viscosity of solution to that of a pure solvent.
Is a vector necessarily changed if it is rotated through an angle?
Yes. A vector is defined as having magnitude and direction (in reference to a fixed frame). Changing either of these properties redefines the vector.
