Linear Kinematics Terms Flashcards
Acceleration
Change in velocity over time
Apex
Highest point in trajectory of projectile
Average
Occurring over a designated time interval
Curvilinear motion
Movement along a curved path
Differentiation
Process of going from displacement to velocity to acceleration
Distance
Length an object has traveled
General motion
Movement of an object
Initial velocity
Vector quantity incorporating angle and speed of projection
Instantaneous
Occurring during a small interval of time
Integration
Opposite of differentiation
Kinematics
Form, pattern, sequencing of movement with respect to time
Laws of constant acceleration
Formulas relating displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time when acceleration is unchanging
Linear motion
Motion moving in a straight line
Meter
International unit of length
Pace
Inverse of speed
