distance meaning
how far the object travelled.
displacement meaning
Change in position of an object
velocity meaning
the speed of something in a given direction
equation of velocity
v=distance/time
equation for acceleration

Equation for speed
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
scalar quantities
has a magnitude of velocity
vector
quantity that has both magnitude and direction
speed
rate at which something travels
independent variable
variable that is changed
dependant variable
variable that is measured
controlled variable
unchanged
acceleration meaning
increase in speed or rate
force formula
mass x acceleration
