Kinematics definintons Flashcards
Define distance
The total length of a path or trajectory travelled by an object in motion
Define direction
The line an object moves along from a particular starting point
Define Position
The distance and direction of an object in motion relative to a system of reference
Define displacement
The change in position of an object in motion
Define Average speed
Equal to the total disntance travallled by an object in unit of time taken for the motion
Define Velocity
the total displacement or change in position divided by the time taken for the motion
Define accelertion
The change in velocity in unit or time/ the rate of change of velocity
Define Time
The measurement of how many seconds are required to perform a certain action
Define Gravitational acceleration
Acceleration occurs when an object is allowed to fall freely
