| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Vector | Has magnitude/size and a direction |
| Scalar | Has magnitude/size |
| Moved 5 meters | Distance Ex |
| Moved 5 meters to the right | Displacement Ex |
| 2 m/s | Speed |
| 2 m/s to the right | Velocity |
| Frame of Reference | The point of view your measuring from |
| Position | Where an object is at a given time relative to a frame of reference. |
| Displacement | Defined to be the change in position of an object Final x - Initial x = Change in x |
| Distance | The magnitude or size of displacement between two positions(-/+/Displacement) |
| Distance Traveled | The total length of the path traveled between two positions.(Not a Vector/Change in direction is still positive) |
| Velocity | Displacement/Change in time |
| Rate or Speed | Distance traveled/Change in time |
| Instantaneous Speed | Speed at a particular moment in time. Absolute value of instantaneous velocity(magnitude of instantaneous velocity) |
| Instantaneous Velocity | Velocity at a particular moment in time. |
| Average velocity | The change in position divided by the time of travel.(displacement/time) |
| Average speed | the distance traveled divided by elapsed time(Distance traveled/time) |
| Velocity equal to | initial velocity + acceleration x time |
| Displacement equal to | (Average velocity x time), ((initial velocity x time)+((acceleration x time^2)/2)), ((velocity x time)-((acceleration x time^2)/2)) |
| velocity^2 equal to | initial velocity^2 + 2 x acceleration x displacement |
| Final velocity^2 | Initial velocity^2 + 2 x acceleration x displacement |
