vocab
change in position over a given amount of time
motion
distance the object travels per unit of time
speed =
the rate of change of velocity, can involve a change in speed or direction or both.
Acceleration
Speed is calculated by dividing the
distance traveled____ by __travel time
total distance traveled/total time
average speed
speed up
Velocity is a measure of
direction as well as rate of travel.
total distance traveled/total time
instantaneous speed
slow down
negative acceleration
Can be graphed with time on __the x-axis___ and position (distance) on the
y axis
Velocity is speed in a
given direction
an object can change direction without changing speed
changing direction
The frame of reference is the point from which
an investigator observes motion
the change in position from starting point to ending point
displacement
Calculating acceleration of an object traveling in a straight line
change in velocity/time
