2 SPEED AND VELOCITY


AB
Motionwhen an object changes its position relative to a reference point.
Distancehow far an object has moved
Displacementdistance and direction of an object's change of position from a starting point.
Speed equation= distance an object travels per unit of time
Constant speedspeed that doesn't change over time.
Average speed equation= total distance/total time
Instantaneous speedspeed at any given point in time.

Velocityspeed AND direction of an objects motion.
Acceleration equation= change in velocity/change in time
Force iscapable of changing an object's motion
A change in directionresults in an acceleration.
When acceleration is 0Speed is constant
MassThe amount of matter in an object
Net Forceabsolutely changes an objects speed or direction
