PHYS165 / PHYS 165 Module 2: (Latest
Update 2026) Physics | Questions &
Answers | Grade A | 100% Correct -
Portage Learning
What is kinematics? -CORRECTANSWER A branch of physics concerned with the
motion of objects and disregards the forces that impact this motion
How do we know when a object is in motion? -CORRECTANSWER When the object's
position changes
How do we define a position of an object? -CORRECTANSWER Defined as the location
of an object compared to other stationary objects (frames of reference)
What is a frame of reference? Include an example? -CORRECTANSWER stationary
objects that help describe the motion of objects: (Ex: the ground that a car is moving on)
What is meant by an object origin? -CORRECTANSWER The place where the object's
position was zero
How can a camera be used to create a frame of reference? -CORRECTANSWER when
looking at a composite of several photographs taken by the same camera and in
, successive intervals of time merged into one you can assume the edge of the CAMERA
is the frame of reference
A composite of images in equally spaced amounts of time is also known as a -
CORRECTANSWER motion diagram
What is the particle model of motion? -CORRECTANSWER The particle model uses a
single dot to represent the object as it moves.
What is distance? -CORRECTANSWER change in position of an object or how far an
object travels during an event.
What is time? -CORRECTANSWER it involves clock reading or times
What is a time interval? -CORRECTANSWER A difference in clock readings or the
duration of an event. Symbol is dt and measured in seconds.
Why construct a motion diagram? -CORRECTANSWER helps visualize the objects
motion
first step to making a mathematical model of motion
What are two examples of mathematical models? -CORRECTANSWER graph
(approximate)
