  • Momentum
    The quantity of motion of a moving object, equal to the product of its mass and velocity
  • Impulse
    The product of force acting on an object and the time during which the force acts
  • Motion
    Change in position
  • Motion in one dimension
    Motion along a straight line or in a single direction
  • Motion in two dimension

    Movement in two different directions (or coordinates) at the same time
  • Motion in 3D

    Motion where all three coordinates specifying the position of object changes over time
  • Distance
    Actual length covered by the moving object from one location to another
  • Displacement
    Shortest length from starting point to an end point
  • Speed
    Rate of change in position with relation to time
  • Velocity
    Speed with its specific direction
  • Acceleration
    An object's capacity to gain speed within a short time
  • Acceleration due to gravity

    Acceleration gained by an object due to gravitational force
  • Free fall

    A state of a body that moves freely in any manner in the presence of gravity
  • Uniform motion

    Motion where speed is constant in a straight line, meaning velocity is constant
  • fundamental quantities

    basic quantities
  • derived quantities
    combined quantities from fundamental
  • scalar quantities

    quantities w/ magnitude
  • vector quantities

    magnitude and direction
  • polygon method
    tail-head method
  • triangle method
    resolving 2 vectors connected tail to head
  • trajectory
    parabolic path
  • projectile motion

    an object moving in 2D that follows a parabolic path
  • distance
    actual length covered
  • displacement
    shortest length from point A to B
  • speed
    rate of change in position w/ relations to time
  • velocity
    speed w/ specific directions
  • momentum
    affected by mass and velocity
  • intertia
    resistance of an object to remain at rest
  • impulse
    product of force acting on an object and the time during which the force acts
