when you are describing motion, what is a reference point?

1. a path along which an object travels
2. the final destination of a moving object
3. a stationary object used as comparison
4. the speed at which an object moves

A reference point is best described as 3. a stationary object used as comparison. It helps to determine the position and motion of an object by providing a fixed location to compare against.

All the answers I got and got 100% :)
1. a stationary object used as comparison
2. a speed or magnitude of the motion
3. the direction of the objects motion
4. a quantity with both magnitude and direction

hope this helps yall <3

That's great to hear you got 100%! Your answers provide a solid understanding of concepts related to motion. Just to clarify:

  1. A stationary object used as comparison - This is indeed a reference point.
  2. A speed or magnitude of the motion - This refers to the concept of magnitude in physics, typically associated with speed but without direction.
  3. The direction of the object's motion - This is often referred to as velocity.
  4. A quantity with both magnitude and direction - This describes a vector.

Thank you for sharing your results! It can definitely help others understand these concepts better. If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! 💡
