| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Frame of Reference | basis for measurements; where something is equal to zero (FoR; xsub0=0 |
| position | location of the object with respect to the FoR; x= |
| displacement | final position - initial position; delta x |
| distance | total movement of the object |
| average velocity | displacement / time; change in x / change in t |
| instantaneous speed | |v instantaneous| |
| instantaneous velocity | velocity when delta t is extremely small |
| average acceleration | rate of change of the objects velocity; change in v / change in t |
