100

an object’s distance and direction from a reference point.

position

100

A car starts at a velocity of 15 m/s and increases to 20 m/s in 5 seconds 

1 m/s^2

100

a measure of the distance an object travels per unit of time.

speed 

100

You walked 2 miles in 1 hour 

2 mph 

100

Moving to the left or down is indicated by 

a negative 

200

the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object.

reference point 

200

You are walking at a velocity of 5 m/s and begin running at a pace of 11 m/s in 2 seconds 

3 m/s^2

200

the rate of change of position in which the same distance is travelled each second.

constant speed 

200

A car is moving 120 miles in 5 hours 

24 mph 

200

moving to the right or up is indicated by 

a positive 

300

 the difference between the initial position and the final position of an object.

displacement 

300

Pablo is resting then moves to his food bowl at a velocity of 12 m/s in 2 s 

6 m/s^2

300

a speed at a specific instant in time.

instantaneous speed 

300

A horse runs 300 miles in 6 hours 

50 mph

300

total amount of space traveled 

distance 

400

a change in velocity during a time interval divided by the time interval during which the velocity change

Average acceleration 

400

The acceleration of a car is 4 m/s^2 with a starting velocity of 2 m/s and a final velocity of 14 m/s 

3 s 

400

the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken to travel that distance.

average speed 

400

A shark swims at a speed of 31 mph in 2 hour

62 miles 

400

displacement is 4 but you travelled in the -2 and +6 direction what is the distance 

8

500

the speed and the direction of a moving object

velocity 

500

A car starts at a velocity of 20 m/s and brakes to a velocity of 5 m/s in 3 s 

-15 m/s^2

500

two factors that go into calculating speed 

distance and time 

500

A plane travels at a speed of 575 mph at a distance of 1,725 miles 

3 hours
