Document Summary

Positions are defined with respect to something else. The position is moving meaning it has . Change in position (how far did it change/ time elapsed) Symbol: x (as in x,y,z) , r (radial position) More on speed: s = t d. Inversely proportional, as the top gets bigger, the bottom gets smaller, for example (if you double the distance, the time will be cut in half) Velocity is a number and a direction. You can use s = d/t to get to time or direction d. How to solve: d s = t doubles, t will double as well ) s t = d. 2: d = s t hr. = 100 miles: d 1 , d 2 = d 1 . 2 (100 mi) 2 = 200 miles. How to solve: d = s t. 2 2 d 1 : d 2 = d 1 .
