Motion Basics
This is the act of something moving.
What is motion?
This is how far something travels.
What is distance?
This describes how fast or slow something moves.
What is speed?
This describes how velocity changes over time.
What is acceleration?
This is speed with direction.
What is velocity?
This tells the position of an object?
What is location?
This is the straight-line path from start to finish.
What is displacement?
Speed depends on these two things.
What are distance and time?
This shows how much something changes over time.
What is rate of change?
This is the size or amount of something.
What is magnitude?
When objects move, this is what they change.
What is position?
This unit is used to measure distance and displacement.
What is a meter?
A common unit for speed or velocity.
What is miles per hour?
This tool can be used to show acceleration visually.
What is a graph?
To compare velocities, units must be this.
What are the same?
This term means the change in an object's position.
What is motion?
Distance depends on this and time to calculate speed.
What is distance?
This is the measure of how long something takes.
What is time?
Objects fall faster and faster because of this force.
What is gravity?
These can be used to represent velocity direction.
What are arrows?
This measures how long something takes.
What is time?
This does NOT depend on direction.
What is distance?
This compares how fast something moves over a distance.
What is speed?
This happens when velocity increases, decreases, or changes direction.
What is acceleration?
Velocity includes speed AND this.
What is direction?
