|
Vector |
Representation of motion that has both magnitude and direction. |
|
|
Scalar |
Quantities that only have magnitude. |
|
|
Resultant vector |
The sum of all vectors of a particular diagram. |
|
|
Coordinate system |
A system used to describe motion that gives the zero point location of the variable being studied and the direction in which the values of the variables increase. |
|
|
Motion diagram |
A series of images showing the positions of a moving object taken at regular (equal) time intervals. |
|
|
Time intervals |
The difference between two times. |
|
|
Displacement |
A change in position having both magnitude and direction. (d = df - di) |
|
|
Velocity |
The change in position divided by the time during which the change occurred. |
|
|
Speed |
How fast an object is moving. |
|
|
Origin |
The point ate which both variables in a coordinate have the value zero. |
|
|
Position v. Time graph |
A graph that can be used to determine an objects velocity and position, as well as where and when two objects meet, by plotting the time data on the X axis and the position data on the Y axis. |
