A landmark - or 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
motion =)
Motion.
resistance to motion is called inertia
That is Newton's 3rd law that states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the car stops suddenly it is decelerating ( force is opposite to direction of motion) causing an opposite reaction ( in direction of motion).
wow...8th grade science online test question?
reference point
That would be a reference point.
A reference point
A reference point is a place or object used in comparison to determine if an object is in motion. It serves as a frame of reference to establish the motion of an object relative to a fixed point.
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".
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.
A reference point is used as a comparison to determine if an object is in motion. This reference point can be a stationary object or a specific location that helps observers detect movement in relation to it.
A reference point should be in a state of rest or constant motion in order to accurately determine the motion of other objects. This allows for easier comparison and observation of the movement of other objects relative to the reference point.
A speedometer is an instrument used to determine if something is in motion by measuring its speed or velocity. The speedometer indicates how fast an object is moving in relation to a fixed point or reference frame.
A frame of reference is a background against which an object's motion or speed is observed and measured. It provides a point of comparison to determine if an object is in motion or at rest and to calculate its speed or velocity.
