# Motion in 1D
|
||||
In this rendering of motion, you will *never* need to use vector quantities to describe movement due to the scalar nature of all quantities discussed.
|
||||
## Reference Frames and Displacement
|
||||
- Any measurement about motion is taken in terms of a *reference frame*.
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> **Example:** A train that moves with respect to the ground being held stationary, is not moving with respect to a stationary person inside that train. If a person were to walk, at let's say $5$ km/s toward the back of the train while it moves forward at $80$ km/h, the person is moving at $75$ km/h with respect to the stationary ground.
|
||||
- In one dimension, only one axis, the $x$-axis of a coordinate plane is used.
|
||||
- the *net* distance an object has traveled is known as *displacement*
|
||||
- *total distance* is the overall distance traveled by the object/particle regardless of reference frame or initial/final positions
|
||||
- change in positions is described using $\Delta x$
