Displacement
- change of position of an object
Vector
quantity
- physical measurement that has both magnitude and direction.
Scalar
quantities
- only have magnitude.
Velocity
- speed with direction.
Average
velocity
- divided by the time travel.
Instantaneous velocity
- specific instant of time or specific point along the path.
Horizontal motion
- occurs parallel to the ground.
Vertical motion
- occurs perpendicular to the ground.
Gravity
- main force that acts vertical motion.
Free
fall
- case of motion with a constant acceleration.
Uniformly
accelerated
motion
- move in constant acceleration.
Motion
- is the change in an object's position over time relative to a reference point.
Instantaneous
acceleration
- the acceleration at a specific instant of time.
Physics-
deals with matter and energy and their interactions.
Matter
- occupies space and has mass.
Energy
-capacity of doing work.
Measurement
is a process of computibg the amount of an unknown physical quantity by using a standard known quantity.
Accuracy
refers to the closenesd of a measurement to the accepted value for a specific physical quantity.
Precision
agreement among several measurements or closeness of measured values to each other.
Random error
this is a errors in interpretations or human errors.
Systematic
errorerror of instruments
Scientific notation
is writing a large numbers as well as small numbers is to use a shorthand method.
