The change in the position of an object is known as this.
Displacement
What is a car doing if on a velocity-time graph it is a straight line down?
slowing down
If Joe runs 4 miles in 1 hour and Bob runs 2 miles in 20 minutes, who is faster?
Bob is faster
Displacement is this type of substance.
vector
Motion of a car if the line on the distance-time graph is horizontal.
Not moving
Acceleration that does not change in time is called this.
Constant acceleration
The starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object.
reference point

The rate of change in velocity is known as this.
average acceleration
Acceleration is calculated using this equation.

study
Motion of a car if the line on a distance-time graph is curving upward.
Speeding up
The distance an object moves in a unit of time.
Speed
