How is the time required for one cycle a complete motion that returns to its starting point is called the?

The time required for one complete cycle of a motion that returns to its starting point is called the period of the motion. It is typically denoted by the symbol T and is measured in seconds. The period is the reciprocal of the frequency of the motion.


What is a point of view with regard to motion called in physics?

In physics, a point of view with regard to motion is called a reference frame. It is used to describe the motion of an object relative to a chosen point or object, providing a frame of reference for measuring distances and velocities. Different reference frames may result in different observations of the same motion.


What is a change of position to a reference point called?

A change of position to a reference point is called displacement. Displacement is a vector quantity that describes the overall change in position of an object relative to its starting point. It includes both distance and direction traveled.


Why is the reference important in order to describe motion?

Motion is always relative, depending on the reference point. If a tree is the reference point, then the car zooming past will be moving. But, if you use the car as the reference point, then it seems as though the tree is zooming past.


The time required for one cycle a complete motion that returns to its starting point is called the?

Period. It is the time it takes for a periodic wave or motion to complete one full cycle, returning to its original position or state.

What is the starting point for measuring latitude?

The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.


How can the motion of an object be graphed?

It would depend on what you were measuring as to how it would be graphed (distance from starting point vs time, distance to a certain point vs time, horizontal location vs vertical location, etc).
