        Help!  

Question
Answer
acceleration   the change in velocity divided by time (a = Δv / Δt)  
🗑
Average speed   Average speed is a measure of the distance traveled in a given period of time;  
🗑
Constant   Does not change  
🗑
Displacement   The change in position of an object  
🗑
Force   An action exerted on a body in order to change the body’s state of rest or motion; has magnitude and direction; A Push or Pull  
🗑
Frame of Reference   A system for specifying the precise location of objects in space and time. An arbitrary set of axes with reference to which the position or motion of something is described or physical laws are formulated  
🗑
Instantaneous speed   the speed at a particular instant of time http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/kinema/trip.cfm  
🗑
Magnitude   Size of the measurement or quantity; how big  
🗑
Motion   An object’s change in position relative to a reference point  
🗑
scalar   physical quantity that has magnitude but no direction  
🗑
speed   scalar measurement of the rate of motion (s = Δd/Δt)  
🗑
Speed   The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred.  
🗑
vector   quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction; an arrow giving magnitude (by its size) and direction  
🗑
Velocity   The speed of an object in a particular direction  
🗑
velocity   vector quantity whose magnitude is an object's speed and whose direction is the object's direction of motion  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
