The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
What is a measure of how far an objects has moved from a starting point?
A change in the position of an object is called a displacement. Velocity is the measure of the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.
What quantity describes the difference between an objects initial position and the objects final position?
"change in location" "displacement"
Is The gravitational force between two objects depends on the distance between the objects and each objects what?
Mass
The strength of gravitational force between objects depends on?
The strength of the gravitation force between two objects depends upon the distance between the two objects and their masses. F = (M1*M2*G)/R2 (Newton's Law of Gravitation) Here M1 and M2 are the masses of the two objects, G is the universal gravitational constant, and R is the distance between the two objects. If the masses of the two objects are large the attraction between them will also be large. However, as the radius increases the gravitational force between the two decreases by the square of the distance. So, the gravitational force depends mainly upon the distance between the two objects, but also significantly upon the masses of the two objects.
What is the starting point of the distance of direction of an objects change in position?
I believe your asking for the term reffering to an objects change in position from its starting point. That term is displacement.
What vector represents the distance and direction of an objects change in position?
velocity
Identify three pieces of information needed to describe an objects position?
1.)Distance from the reference point. 2.)A reference point. 3.)Direction from the reference point.
What term is defined as change in an objects position over time without including direction?
Motion is the change in an object's position without including direction.
Does the displacement between two objects locate the objects?
No. Displacement refers only to distance; you also need the direction.
You do not know an objects velocity until you know what?
To know an object's velocity, you need to know its speed and direction. You can measure speed by calculating how long an object takes to arrive at a new position. So by knowing an object's starting position, ending position, and the time it took to get there, you can calculate its average velocity. In a more advanced calculation, you could choose starting and ending positions that are extremely close to one another and calculate "instantaneous velocity." Velocity is known as a "vector value". A vector not only has a length, but a direction. In this case, "length" is the same as "speed", and direction is its change in position.
Do objects in motion always change position and may change direction?
Objects in motion continuously change position.To change direction, a force needs to act upon them.
Who named the space as a space?
The word '''''space''''' comes from the Latin word spatium which means "room, area, distance, stretch of time." '''''Space''''' is the extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction.
How is distance different from position?
Firstly I would like to say that your question is not specific as to what area of science you are relating to. Hence, I am giving the answer as to a layman, relating to few fields of study. DISTANCE can be defined as - The extent of space between two objects or places; an intervening space. and POSITION as - The portion of space occupied by an object In maths, distance between two points or objects is the physical distance between them. The distance is found by using various formulae : mostly variants of the pythagorean theorem. Whereas position of a point is in general the position of the point in the plane and its co-ordinates indicate its position. In geographical science, position involves the position of a place wrt the latitude, longitude parameters and also the direction art a place. Where as distance involves the physical distance between two places. That is the distance to travel from place A to place B. Hope you got what you were asking for. If not, please specify ur question to a field of study and I shall try my best to help you out.
Why do waves change direction when they are near shore?
The reason they change direction near shore is because the density of objects increase!
Why the far objects seems to move with us?
When objects are far away, the distance of the object is much greater than the distance that you are moving. Hence, there is little change in the relative position of you and the object.
What is the technique that uses the reflection of electromagnetic waves to determine the location or direction of outside objects?
RADAR determines the distance and direction to anything that reflectsradio waves ... usually material objects, but it responds to atmosphericphenomena too.
