        Help!  

Term
Definition
average velocity   the rate of change in position  
🗑
displacement   describes the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another  
🗑
distance   a scalar quantity that describes the length of a path between two points or locations  
🗑
position   a vector quantity that describes a specific point relative to a reference point  
🗑
position-time-graph   when you plot the time data on the horizontal axis (called the x-axis) and the position data on the vertical axis (called the y-axis)  
🗑
scalars   has magnitude only  
🗑
slope   refers to whether a line is horizontal or goes up or down at an angle  
🗑
speed   the magnitude of the velocity  
🗑
uniform motions   travel equal displacements in equal time intervals  
🗑
vectors   has both a magnitude and a direction  
🗑
velocity   the displacement of an object during a time interval divided by the time interval  
🗑
acceleration   the rate of change in velocity  
🗑
acceleration due to gravity   9.8m/s/s downwards  
🗑
air resistance   a friction-like force that opposes the motion of object that move through the air  
🗑
average acceleration   the slope of a velocity-time graph  
🗑
change in velocity   Vf - Vi  
🗑
constant acceleration   the object's velocity is changing at a constant rate  
🗑
deceleration   acceleration that is opposite to the direction of motion  
🗑
gravity   an attractive force that acts between two or more masses  
🗑
velocity-time-graph   provides information about the object's velocity and acceleration  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
