motion | the state in which one object’s distance from another is changing. |
speed | the distance an object travels in one unit of time. |
velocity | speed in a given direction. |
acceleration | the rate at which velocity changes. |
nonlinear | term used to describe a relationship between variables whose graph is not a straight line. |
formula for speed | distance/time |
formula for acceleration | acceleration=change in velocity/time |
origin | starting point |
distance | how far apart objects are |
vector quantity | magnitude and direction |
scalar quantity | magnitude only |
reference point | used to find or describe the location of something |
framework used for observing and describing phenomena | reference frame |
displacement | movement |
understand | be able to explain |
define | write or say the meaning |
describe | explain what something is like |
calculate | solve using math |
