Chap 2 - 1DM Flashcards
xf
final position
vy
velocity in y direction
Instantaneous acceleration
The acceleration at a single instant in time.
speed
how fast an object is travelling (independent of direction)
dx
a really really small change in x
xo
position at time = 0
uniform linear motion
traveling at a constant velocity (in a line)
Linear Motion
Motion along a line
instantaneous velocity
velocity at a single instant of time
vx
velocity in x direction
Inclined plane
a flat surface that is on an angle.
uniform motion
traveling at a constant velocity (in a line)
uniformly accelerated motion
motion with a constant acceleration
average acceleration
turning point
the point where an object changes direction. At this point, the instantaneous velocity will equal zero.
