  • Motion is the movement of an object
  • Distance is the total length traveled by an object as it moves along its path.
  • Displacement is the change in position from one point to another.
  • Displacement is the shortest distance between two points on the path of motion of an object.
  • Velocity is speed with direction, measured in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
  • Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s2).
  • The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2
  • The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s).
  • An example of speed is when a car travels 60 mph, meaning that it covers 1 mile every 5 minutes.
  • Average Velocity = Total Distance / Number of Intervals
  • Instantaneous Velocity = Average Velocity x Time Interval
  • Speed is how fast something travels, while velocity includes both speed and direction.
  • Speed is the magnitude of velocity, while velocity has both magnitude and direction.
  • Instantaneous Velocity is the average velocity calculated over a very small interval of time.
  • Distance = Speed x Time
  • Speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the elapsed time.
  • Average Speed is the total displacement divided by the total elapsed time.
  • Time = Distance / Speed
  • Rectilinear: Contained by consisting of, or moving in a straight line or lines
  • Curvilinear: Contained by or consisting of a curved line or lines
  • Angular: having angles or sharp angles
