The distance an object travels per unit of time is called? | Speed |
Any change over time is known as? | Rate |
What is the formula used to solve for speed? | s = d / t |
Speed that does NOT change over time is? | Constant speed |
Speed of motion when speed is changing is called? | Average speed |
The direction and speed of an object is described by its? | velocity |
This is the distance an object travels per unit of time: | speed |
The distance between an object and a reference point is the object's? | position |
The SI unit of distance is the? | meter |
