| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Speed | The distance an object moves per unit of time. |
| Average Speed | Calculate the total distance traveled by the total time. (Speed= Distance/Time) |
| Instantaneous Speed | The speed at which an object is moving at a given instant in time. |
| Velocity | Speed in a given direction. If you know the speed and direction of an object, then you know the velocity. |
| Graphing Motion | Plotting time on the x-axis (horizontal axis), and distance on y-axis (vertical axis) |
| Slope | is the steepness of the line, shows how fast one variable changes in relation of the other variable. Slope= Rise/Run |
| Reference Point | A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion |
| Distance SI Unit: Meter | (measures the length of a path between two points) |
| Power | The rate at which energy is transferred, or the amount of energy transferred in a unit of time. Power= Energy Transferred/Time |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy an object has due to its motion. |
| Potential Energy | The energy an object has because of its position, also the internal stored energy of an object, such as energy stored in chemical bonds. |
| gravitational Potential Energy | Potential energy related to an object’s height. |
| Elastic Potential Energy | The energy that can be associated with objects that can be compressed or stretched. |
