Module 3 Flashcards
It is defined as motion along a straight line, with motion being defined as the change in position over a given time. By definition, it means that everything behaves in a linear manner, so the objects and scenarios involved are only moving along one (1) of the three (3) known axes that we use (x, y, z).
Rectilinear Motion
It is the total measured length between two (2) given points.
Distance
It is the measured mean distance covered between two (2) specified points.
Displacement
It is the progression of events occurring between instances.
Time
It is the scalar quantity defined as the total distance covered per unit time. It does not, and cannot, have a negative value.
Speed
It is the measured speed measured between two (2) specified points. It is the measured speed in a certain distance at any given instance in time. However, unlike speed, it is a vector quantity and requires direction. Negative values indicate that the objects are moving in the opposite direction
Velocity
It is the change in velocity per unit time. Meaning, it shows how fast the object moves in order to reach that certain amount of velocity within a certain amount of time. Negative values indicate that the objects are slowing down.
Acceleration
These are one way of showing the relationship of the given variables in Physics.
Graphs
It is a motion wherein only gravity is the only acting influence on the object.
Free-fall
