1 Speed and Acceration

2 distance Total distance an object travels from a starting point to ending point

3 speed How fast or slow an object moves – it is scalar s = d/t Speed does not have direction so it is not a vector

4 displacement how far away an object is from its starting point.

5 slope A way to figure out acceleration from a velocity vs time graph Y 2 – y 1 / x 2 – x 1

6 Acceleration The change of velocity divided by the change in time It is a vector A = V f – v i / t a = v 2 –v 1

7 vectors Has magnitude and direction Magnitude is the amount Direction could be up or down, east, west, north or south, negative or positive

8 Velocity How fast or slow an object moves in a certain direction it’s a vector
