Chapter 1 Review

The process of changing position

• displacement

• motion

• position

• reference point

An object’s distance and direction from a reference point

• position

• reference point

• motion

• displacement

The difference between the initial (first) position and the final position of an object

• reference point

• motion

• positon

• displacement

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

• reference point

• position

• motion

• displacement

Speed at a specific instant in time

• constant speed

• acceleration

• instantaneous speed

• velocity

velocity

• The speed and direction of a moving object

• The rate of change of position in which the same distance is traveled each second

• The total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to travel the distance.

• A measure of the change in velocity during a period of time

acceleration

• A measure of the distance an object travels per unit of time

• A measure of the change in velocity during a period of time

• A measure of the distance an object travels per unit of time

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

average speed

• Speed at a specific instant in time

• Speed at a specific instant in time

• The speed and direction of a moving object

• The total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to travel the distance.

constant speed

• The rate of change of position in which the same distance is traveled each second

• The difference between the initial (first) position and the final position of an object

• Speed at a specific instant in time

• An object’s distance and direction from a reference point

Where on the graph is the object not in motion?

• Point A

• Point B

• Point C

• Point D
