Motion, Speed, Velocity, And Acceleration

Front 1

How is speed different from velocity and acceleration?

Back 1

Speed does not involve direction, but both velocity and acceleration do

Speed can only have positive values, but velocity and acceleration values can be positive or negative

Front 2

Centripetal Acceleration

Back 2

Acceleration that occurs in circular motion

Front 3

Two factors that affect the velocity and acceleration of an object.

Back 3

a change in speed

a change in direction

Front 4

Formula for Speed

Back 4

speed=distance/time

s=d/t

Front 5

Formula for Velocity

Back 5

Velocity= distance/time+direction

v=d/t+direction

Front 6

Acceleration

Back 6

the rate at which velocity changes; an object accelerates if its speed changes, if its direction changes, or if both its speed and its direction change

Front 7

Motion

Back 7

an object's change in position over time when compared with a reference point

Front 8

Speed

Back 8

the rate at which an object moves; speed depends on distance traveled and the time taken to travel that distance

Front 9

Velocity

Back 9

the speed of an object in a particular direction

Front 10

Reference Point

Back 10

the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object

Front 11

Reference Direction

Back 11

is a direction used as a basis for comparison of other directions
