New cards
motion
changing position relative to a reference point
2
New cards
displacement
distance and direction of a change in position relative from the starting point
3
New cards
speed
the rate at which an objects position changes
4
New cards
what are the axis's on a distance time graph
time is the x axis and distance is the y axis
5
New cards
what is the slope on a distance time graph
the speed
6
New cards
velocity
the distance and the speed relative to a reference point
7
New cards
how is an objects position described
relative to a reference point
8
New cards
what is momentum
defined for a particular frame of reference and the product of mass and velocity
9
New cards
acceleration
the rate of change of velocity
10
New cards
speed increases when
the acceleration and velocity are in the same direction
11
New cards
speed decreases when
the acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions
12
New cards
if an object is moving in a straight line the change in velocity is
the final speed minus the initial speed
13
New cards
acceleration toward the center of a curved path
centripetal acceleration
