Science

Motion

• a change in an object’s position relative to a reference point.

• the distance and direction of the object’s change in position.

• the distance an object travels per unit of time.

Displacement

• the distance and direction of the object’s change in position.

• the distance an object travels per unit of time.

• a change in an object’s position relative to a reference point.

Speed

• the distance an object travels per unit of time.

• a change in an object’s position relative to a reference point.

• the distance and direction of the object’s change in position.

Velocity

• the speed of an object and the direction of its motion.

• an object is the product of its mass and velocity.

• the distance and direction of the object’s change in position.

Momentum

• an object is the product of its mass and velocity.

• the speed of an object and the direction of its motion.

• the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration

• the rate of change of velocity

• Acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path

• the distance an object travels per unit of time.

Centripetal acceleration

• Acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path

• the rate of change of velocity.

• an object is the product of its mass and velocity.

Motion occurs when an object changes its ________ relative to a reference point

____________ is the distance and direction of a change in position from the starting point

_____ is the rate at which an object’s position changes.
