Reference point |
is the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position of an object |
|
Position |
is an object's distance and direction from a reference point |
|
Relative |
compared (to) |
|
Specify |
to indicate or identifyDimension |
|
Dimension |
distance or length measured in one direction |
|
Motion |
is the process of changing position |
|
Displacement |
is the difference between the initial (first) position and the final position of an object
|
|
Motion |
from Latin means to move |
|
Speed |
is a measure of the distance an object travels per unit of time |
|
Constant speed |
is the rate of change of position in which the same distance is traveled each second |
|
Instantaneous speed |
is speed at a specific instant in time |
|
Average Speed |
is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to travel that distance AS = TD(Measure in m)/TT(measured in s) symbol = v(with a line over it) |
|
Velocity |
is the speed and the direction of a moving object |
|
Acceleration |
is a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time.
|
|
average accelerations |
A change in velocity during a time interval divided by the time interval during which the velocity changes acceleration(in m/s^2) - total time (in s) a = Vf-Fi t |
|
Average Accelerations |
If a body is having an initial velocity vi at time interval ti and it attains final velocity vf after some time tf then its average acceleration formula is given by
|
|
Speedometer |
Measures instantaneous speed |
|
Vertical |
overhead; y - axis on a graph |
|
Horizontal |
