  • vector quantity
    quantity that has magnitude and direction
  • scalar quantity
    quantity that has magnituede but not direction
  • instantaneous speed
    the speed at a particular instant in time
  • constant speed
    its instantaneous speed has the same value
  • position
    the coordinate on the number line
  • displacement
    change in position
  • distance
    length of path followed
  • uniform motion
    motion with constant velocity
  • average velocity
    the displacement divided by the time to achieve that displacement
  • velocity
    the rate of change of position
  • speed
    the magnitude of the velocity
  • acceleration
    the rate of change of velocity
  • fluid resistance force
    the forces a fluid places on a moving object in the opposite direction to the movement
  • terminal velocity
    the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration
