Wave is nothing but the disturbance being transferred. So wave speed is the distance covered by the disturbance in one second

What is needed when describing motion?

object,place,force,direction,speed and acceleration


What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?

Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).


What is describing motion using words instead of numbers is called what kind of kinematics?

Describing motion using words instead of numbers is called qualitative kinematics. This approach focuses on the characteristics of motion such as speed, direction, and changes in motion without quantifying them numerically.


Is variable Speed a motion?

It is not necessarily a motion in itself... Variable speed refers to something that can change speeds, or that the speeds can be changed. There are many things that can be variable speed.


The speed and direction of an object's motion?

The speed of an object's motion refers to how fast it is moving, typically measured in distance covered per unit of time (e.g., meters per second). The direction of an object's motion indicates the path it is following in relation to a reference point, such as north, south, east, or west. Both speed and direction are essential components for describing the movement of an object accurately.


Describing motion using words instead of numbers is called what?

Describing motion using words instead of numbers is called qualitative description. It focuses on aspects such as speed, direction, acceleration, and position without quantifying them with specific measurements.


What refers to an object's change of position and speed?

Velocity


How are the motion and speed related?

Motion is the change in position of an object over time, while speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving within a certain amount of time while motion describes the object's overall change in position.


What is it called when you describe an object's speed and direction?

When describing an object's speed and direction, it is referred to as velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that specifies both the magnitude (speed) and direction of motion.


Both speed and acceleration include the direction of an objects motion true or false?

This is not true. Acceleration includes direction, but speed does not. Speed in a particular direction is called velocity.


What is study of motion?

The study of motion is known as kinematics. It is a branch of physics that deals with the description of the motion of objects using concepts such as distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. Kinematics does not consider the causes of motion, but rather focuses on describing and analyzing motion mathematically.
