SPEED AND VELOCITY

AB
Motionwhen an object changes its position relative to a reference point.
Distancehow far an object has moved
meterSI unit for length
Speeddistance an object travels per unit of time
Rateany change over time.
Speed equationSpeed=distance/time
Constant speedspeed that doesn't change over time.... it stays the same
Average speedspeed of motion when speed is changing.
Average speed equationtotal distance/total time
accelerationrate of change of velocity
Graph of speed has distanceon y-axis
Graph of speed has timeon x-axis
Velocityspeed AND direction of an objects motion.
reference pointa place or object used fir comparision to determine if something is moving.
horizontal line on a graphshows that motion has stopped (took a break)
Acceleration =Vfinal - Vinitial / Time
decreasing speed is also known asdeceleration or negative acceleration
TrueTrue or False: Changing direction is a type of acceleration
FalseTrue or False: you accelerate as increase your speed
