A | B |
position | the location of an object |
motion | changing position would involve _____ |
distance | would be the separation of two positions |
speed | the rate of change of position or how fast something is traveling |
speed formula | distance divided by time |
constant speed | speed that does not change(cruise control in car) |
average speed | calculated by total distance divided by total time of travel |
velocity | describes a moving object's speed and direction |
acceleration | rate of change of velocity |
positive acceleration | when a object is speeding up (increase) |
negative acceleration | when an object is slowing down (decrease) |
zero acceleration | when an object has constant speed |
