Vectors

Quantities that have both magnitude and direction.

2
New cards

Scalars

Quantities that have only magnitude.

3
New cards

Displacement

The straight-line distance between an object's initial and final point.

4
New cards

Change in Position

The difference in an object's location from its initial to final point.

5
New cards

Distance Traveled

The total length of the path an object moves, always greater than or equal to the magnitude of displacement.

6
New cards

Average Speed

The total distance traveled divided by the time duration of that travel.

7
New cards

Average Speed Formula

Average speed = distance/time.

8
New cards

Average Velocity

The change in position (displacement) divided by the change in time.

9
New cards

Instantaneous Velocity

The velocity of an object when the time interval is very small.

10
New cards

Average Acceleration

The change in velocity divided by the change in time.

11
New cards

Instantaneous Acceleration

The acceleration of an object when the time interval is very small.

12
New cards

Acceleration due to Gravity

The acceleration of an object under the influence of gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s² downward.
