A | B |
motion | The state in which one object's distance from another is changing. |
reference point | a place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion. |
International System of Units (SI) | A system of measurement based on multiples of ten and on established measures of mass, length, and time |
meter | the basic SI unit of length |
speed | the distance an object travels in one unit of time |
velocity | speed in a given direction |
acceleration | the rate at which velocity changes |
formulat for acceleration | acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time |
formula for speed | speed=distance/time |
deceleration | negative acceleration |
constant speed | straight line on a distant time graph |
curved line-- distance vs time graph | Shows acceleration |
straight line- time and speed graph | Shows acceleration |
