9
For something to be in motion, it must have
speed and direction
10
Use the graph to find how far away from his
house Gary is after 8 minutes.
3.5 cm.
11
A change in speed or direction is
acceleration

Use the graph to find how far away from his
house Gary is after 4 minutes.
about 23 cm.
14
To tell if an object is in motion, we use a
reference point
15
The formula to calculate speed is
distance divided by time

finding its _________.
velocity
19
The change in position of an object relative to
another point is known as
motion
