Motion and Energy Vocabulary

The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred; S=D/T

The speed of an object in a particular direction

The rate at which velocity changes over time; an object accelerates if its speed direction, or both change

The transfer of energy to an object by using a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force
