2. numerical description of how far apart objects are from each other
Distance
numerical description of how far apart objects are from each other

3. SPEED *most commonly measured by meters per second.
*Rate at which object moves
*most commonly measured by meters per second.

4. Constant speed
moving object continues to move in the same direction, with the same speed

5. motion not running at particular speed
Variable Speed
motion not running at particular speed
(vari=change)

6. Velocity The speed and direction of moving object
*2 ways: change in magnitude and/or a change in direction

7. path that something takes
Direction
path that something takes

8. location relative to a reference point
Position
location relative to a reference point

9. rate the direction or speed changes
acceleration
rate the direction or speed changes

10. Motion Graphs
Used to Better understand the motion of objects
