Front

motion

Back

change in position over time

Front

speed

Back

It's the rate at which an object travels distance (distance/time in meters per second m/s)

Front

acceleration

Back

the rate at which velocity changes over time

Front

position

Back

location of an object at a specific time relative to a reference point

Front

deceleration

Back

type of acceleration in which the object's speed decreases over time

Front

velocity

Back

speed with direction

Front

distance time graph

Back

a graph that shows how the distance an object travels changes over time

Front

force

Back
