Since we began to learn about the topic of Motion, I knew a fair amount about the topic itself. For one, I had already known that speed would be distance over time, since speed is really just how much distance is covered in a set amount of time, whether it's how many metres a body covers in one second, or if it is how many kilometres a body travels in one hour. I also knew that velocity was just speed with a given direction, and that acceleration was just the different rate of change of speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of speed in a moving body. It is how fast a body changes its speed. However, I did not know that the change of direction, where another force acts upon a moving body, is a form of acceleration. The SI unit of speed is m/s, as the SI unit of distance is metres(m) and the SI unit of time is seconds(s). The SI unit of acceleration is m/s2

Inside this topic of motion, we were taught about reference points. A reference point is frame that can be in stasis or motion, in which we can refer motion of a body to. A reference frame is better when it is static, as we can have reliable source to measure the motion of a body. We measure the motion of the body, if it has changed distance or perspective in regards to the reference point.

To describe motion, we simply just describe the body at 2 different time frames. If the body has altered in any form in between the 2 time frames, whether in location or appearance, then it has moved, therefore motion has taken place. Motion abides by the classical laws of mechanics, from which derived from the 3 laws of motion, proposed and created by Sir Isaac Newton. Motion however, is not the same on the sub-atomic scale, and must abide by the laws of Quantum Mechanics.
