Module 2 Flashcards
An object changes position with respect to time and its surrounding
Motion
Motion is always measured with a _______________.
point of reference (starting point)
Enumerate the five types of motion.
- Straight Motion and Free-fall
- Projectile Motion
- Circular Motion
- Rotary Motion
- Oscillatory Motion
It is a rectilinear motion or one-dimensional motion.
Straight motion or one dimensional motion
It is a curved path under the action of gravity only.
Projectile Motion
It is the movement of an object along the circumference of a circle.
Circular Motion
It is the “spinning” motion or rotation of an object along its own axis.
Rotary Motion
It is repeating or periodic motions.
Oscillatory Motion
It is the point of origin or the final location of a moving body.
Position
It is the change in position from x1 to x2.
Displacement
It is a scalar quantity that measures how much ground an object has covered.
Distance
It is a vector quantity that refers to how far the object is from its initial position.
Displacement
It is the total distance traveled by the object to the total time taken.
Average Speed
It is the chance in position or displacement divided by the time intervals in which the displacement occurs.
Average Velocity
It is a vector quantity defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity.
Acceleration
