| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | the act of accelerating; increase of speed or velocity. |
| Average Speed | the total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed. |
| Displacement | the state of being displaced or the amount or degree to which something is displaced. |
| Inertia | nertness, especially with regard to effort, motion, action, and the like; inactivity; sluggishness. |
| Instantaneous Speed | When the speed of an object is constantly changing, the instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular moment (instant) in time. Example. Fingerspell. |
| Law Of Conservation Of Momentum | The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum. |
