1
Q
velocity
A
quickness of motion
2
Q
speed
A
rate of motion: such as the magnitude of a velocity irrespective of direction
3
Q
average speed
A
the total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed
4
Q
average velocity
A
defined as the change in position or displacement (∆x) divided by the time intervals (∆t) in which the displacement occurs
4
Q
constant velocity
A
when both the magnitude and direction of the rate at which such an object is changing its position remain constant
5
Q
acceleration
A
the act or process of moving faster or happening more quickly
6
Q
constant acceleration
A
motion where the speed increases by the same amount each second
7
Q
instantaneous acceleration
A
a continuous function of time and gives the acceleration at any specific time during the motion
