• Motion

  • change in position of an object in a given period of time with respect to a given reference point
• Scalar quantities

  • measurements with the amount of something without the need to indicate direction
• Vector quantities

  • gives both magnitude and the direction of the measurement
• Vector

  • represented in arrows
• FORMULAS

  S = d/t

  T = d/s

  D = s x t
• Acceleration

  • rate of change in velocity
