Unit 5 Vocab Review

Average Speed

• An object’s rate of change, calculated by dividing the total distance an object traveled by the total time it took the object to travel the distance (s=d/t)

• Forces on an object that do not change the motion of the object

• A straight path that an object can move along

• A graph illustrating changes in motion that shows time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis

Balanced Forces

• A push or pull that can change the motion of an object

• Forces on an object that do not change the motion of the object

• A straight path that an object can move along

• A graph illustrating changes in motion that shows time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis

Constant Speed

• When an object remains in the same spot relative to another object

• The change in an object’s position with respect to time and in comparison with the position of other objects used as reference points

• When an object travels the same distance in the same period of time, an object travels a uniform distance in an equal interval of time.

• The rate of change of position (or distance traveled) with respect to time

Distance-Time Graph

• The change in an object’s position with respect to time and in comparison with the position of other objects used as reference points

• A push or pull that can change the motion of an object

• A graph in which the data are represented by points connected by one or more lines

• A graph illustrating changes in motion that shows time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis
