Mrs. Woods' Unit 2 Buggy Lab
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| x | position where the object is located |
| (triangle)x | displacement how far you are relative to where the object started, and in which direction |
| x(0) | initial position where the object is located initially |
| v | velocity the slope of a graph of position vs. time |
| d | distance the length of the path traveled during a time interval; in total, how far the object traveled |
| velocity or avg. velocity | (triangle)x/(triangle)t= v |
| displacement or (triangle)x | x(f)-x(0)=(triangle)x |
| general equation that represents constant velocity motion | x=vt+x(0) |
| positive direction | north or east |
| negative direction | south or west |
| (triangle)x | (triangle)x=vt |
| avg. speed or speed | d/t=s |
| vector quantities | described by a magnitude and a direction ex: displacement & velocity |
| scalar quantities | described by a magnitude ex: distance & speed |
| displacement | area under the curve a=vt |
