When an object changes its position
motion
velocity
An indicator that orients you; the place from where you measure, record, or witness an event.
reference point
destination point
How far an object has moved.
distance
displacement
Distance and direction of an object’s change in position; difference from starting to ending point.
distance
displacement
The distance an object travels per unit of time.
speed
motion
The total distance traveled divided by total time traveled.
average speed
instantaneous speed
The speed at any given point – what shows up on your speedometer.
average speed
instantaneous speed
The speed of an object and the direction of its motion
velocity
acceleration
The formula for velocity is
v= d/t
v= t/d
True or False?
To find the distance an object travels you divide the speed and the time
true
false
A rate of change of velocity over time.
velocity
acceleration
speed
displacement
When an object speeds up this
negative acceleration
positive acceleration
When an object slows down this is ...
negative acceleration
positive acceleration
The object is speeding up, therefore it has a positive acceleration
true
false
The object is not moving, therefore it has 0 acceleration
true
false
The object is slowing down, therefore it has a negative acceleration
true
false
