Distance, Speed, Velocity, Acceleration

• it is a branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy


  physics
• it is relative; it changes or moves position in respect to it's reference point


  motion
• a fixed point used to describe the changes in the position of the object


  reference point
• another word for distance


  magnitude
• it is numbers with units

  e.g: 3g, 3L, etcetera

  magnitude or distance
• distance with direction


  displacement
• positive: up, right

  negative: left, down
• it is how fast an object changes or moves direction?

  speed
• speed with direction?

  velocity
• what are the three types of acceleration?

  speeding up, slowing down, moving directions
• quantities with magnitude

  e.g: distance, speed, time, volume?

  scalar
• quantities with magnitude and direction

  e.g: displacement, velocity, force, acceleration?


  vector
• speed and velocity share the same formula

  
• acceleration is the rate of change in velocity

  
• a unit will only be accelerating if the denominator is squared
• deccelerating: slowing down

  accelerating: speeding up
• ordinate: vertical

  abscissa: horizontal
