19 Terms

1

motion

defined as the change of an objects position with time

New cards
2

position

where an object is placed (x-axis)

New cards
3

four basic types of motion

linear, circular, projectile, rotational

New cards
4

motion diagram

show project position at different times

help view speed in each frame

New cards
5

reference frame

position, distance, or speed using coodinate axis

New cards
6

distance

add all legs (absolute value)

New cards
7

displacement

final - inital position (can be - based on direction)

New cards
8

average seped

total distance/time took to travel

New cards
9

velocity

magnitude and direction of object moving

New cards
10

magnitude

numerical value

New cards
11

formula for velocity

New cards
12

average velocity

uses displacement instead of distance

→ right (+) and left (-)

New cards
13

instantaneous velocity

average velocity over short time interval

derivative

New cards
14

object slows down what is velocity and acceleration

opposite directions

New cards
15

speeding up, what is velocity and acceleration

same direction

New cards
16

instantaneous acceleration

second derivative

limiting value of aevrage acceleration and as tim approaches 0

New cards
17

CAKE

constant acceleration kinematic equation

New cards
18

projectile motion shape

parabola

New cards
19

kinematics equations (4)
