___
t
motion
a change in an objects position relative to a reference point
distance
an amount of space between two things or people
displacement
the distance and direction of on objects change in position
reference point
a standard for evaluation, assessment, or comparison
speed
distance an object travels per unit of time
velocity
includes the speed of an object and the direction of its motion
relative velocity
the velocity of a body with respect to another regarded as being at rest
momentum
the product of an objects mass and velocity
magnitude
the great size or extent of something
rate
a measure, quantity, or frequency, typically one measured against some other quantity or measure.
relative motion
is the calculation of the motion of an object with regard to some other moving object
centripetal acceleration
acceleration towards the center of a curved or circular path
projectile motion
has a single force that acts upon it - the force of gravity. something that moves at a fast, forced motion.
acceleration
the rate of change of velocity
