Terms to remember on Acceleration, speed velocity Flashcards
1
Q
Speed
A
Overall distance an object travels in a specified amount of time,
distance/time
2
Q
Velocity
A
straight line distance that an object traveled from start to finish
Displacement/time
3
Q
Acceleration
A
the rate of change in velocity
V(final)-V(inital)/time
Direction of motion does not indicate the direction of the acceleration
4
Q
Projectiles
A
> Every object thrown up into the air will have vertical motion and will always take the same amount of time going up as it does going down
If any horizontal motion is added to the object it becomes a projectile and will land in a different point than where it originated from
