  • 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.
