What Measures Motion?
* Distance/Displacement:
* Distance: The total length of the path traveled (scalar quantity, only magnitude).
* Displacement: The straight-line distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point (vector quantity, magnitude and direction).
* Speed/Velocity:
* Speed: How fast an object is moving (scalar quantity).
* Velocity: How fast an object is moving and in what direction (vector quantity).
* Acceleration: The rate at which an object's velocity changes (vector quantity).
How Motion is Described:
* Frames of Reference: A point of view from which motion is observed.
* Graphs:
* Distance-Time graphs: Show how distance changes over time.
* Velocity-Time graphs: Show how velocity changes over time.
* Vectors: Used to represent quantities like displacement, velocity, and acceleration, which have both magnitude and direction.
