| Reference Point | A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion |
| Distance SI Unit | Meter |
| Speed | The distance an object moves per unit of time. |
| Average Speed | Calculate the total distance traveled by the total 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. |

| Slope | is the steepness of the line, shows how fast one variable changes in relation to the other variable. |
| Power | The rate at which energy is transferred, or the amount of energy transferred in a unit of 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. |
