New cards
Velocity
Speed combined with direction of motion.
2
New cards
Positive Velocity
Indicates motion in the positive direction.
3
New cards
Negative Velocity
Indicates motion in the negative direction.
4
New cards
Zero Velocity
Represents a turning point in motion.
5
New cards
Free Fall
Motion influenced only by gravity.
6
New cards
Acceleration of Gravity
g = 9.8 m/s² near Earth's surface.
7
New cards
Speeding Up
Occurs when velocity and acceleration have same sign.
8
New cards
Slowing Down
Occurs when velocity and acceleration have opposite signs.
9
New cards
Velocity-Time Graph
Graph showing velocity against time.
10
New cards
Displacement
Change in position, ∆x = xf - xi.
11
New cards
Positive Displacement
Area above x-axis on velocity-time graph.
12
New cards
Negative Displacement
Area below x-axis on velocity-time graph.
13
New cards
Total Displacement
Positive Displacement - Negative Displacement.
14
New cards
Total Distance
Positive Displacement + |Negative Displacement|.
15
New cards
1D Motion Formula
v(t) = v0 + at.
16
New cards
Initial Velocity
v0, starting speed of an object.
17
New cards
Final Velocity
v, speed of an object at a later time.
18
New cards
Initial Position
x0, starting location of an object.
19
New cards
Final Position
x, location of an object at a later time.
20
New cards
Maximum Height
Point where velocity of a rising object is zero.
21
New cards
Coordinate System
Reference framework for analyzing motion.
22
New cards
