|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frame of reference | an object which is used to measure changes in position
🗑
|
||||
| Displacement | change in position from the starting point
🗑
|
||||
| Velocity | the measure of rate of movement of an object. Includes direction of motion.
🗑
|
||||
| Average Velocity | total displacement divided by total time. (includes direction)
🗑
|
||||
| Average Speed | distance traveled divided by total time. (does not include direction)
🗑
|
||||
| Slope | rise over run on a graph. Divide the change in the y coordinates by the change in the x coordinates
🗑
|
||||
| Instantaneous Velocity | velocity of an object at a certain moment in time.
🗑
|
||||
| Instantaneous Speed | the number given to you by your car’s speedometer.
🗑
|
||||
| Acceleration | Rate at which velocity changes over time. Can be positive or negative. It is determined by a change in speed, direction, or both.
🗑
|
||||
| Free Fall | Motion of a body when the only force acting on it is gravity.
🗑
|
||||
| Air Resistance | Friction created by air that slows the acceleration of an object in free fall.
🗑
|
||||
| Terminal Velocity | The constant speed an object reaches when falling through a medium. It does depend on mass, shape, and size.
🗑

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.
