| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Average velocity | the rate of change in position for a time interval |
| Displacement | the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another |
| Distance (d) | a scalar quantity that describes the length of a path between two points or locations |
| Position (d with an arrow) | a vector quantity that describes a specific point relative to a reference point |
| Position-time graph | a graph of an object’s position during corresponding time intervals; time data are plotted on the horizontal axis (x-axis), and position data are plotted on the vertical axis (y-axis) |
| Scalars | quantities that have only a magnitude (do not include direction) |
| Slope | the direction of a line on a graph, either horizontal (zero), slanting up (positive), or slanting down (negative). Slope is calculated by determining the ratio of rise/run. |
| Speed (v) | the distance an object travels during a given time interval divided by the time interval |
| Uniform motion | travelling in equal displacements in equal time intervals; neither speeding up, slowing down, nor changing direction |
| Vectors | quantities that have both a magnitude and a direction |
| Velocity (v) | the displacement of an object during a time interval divided by the time interval |
