A |
---|
accelerationthe rate at which velocity changes | |
average speeddistance traveled divided by time during which motion occurs | |
average velocity | |
D |
---|
dependent variablethe variable that changes as the independent variable changes | |
displacementthe change in position of an object against a fixed axis | |
distancethe length of the path actually traveled between an initial and a final position | |
I |
---|
independent variablethe variable, usually along the horizontal axis of a graph, that does not change based on human or experimental action; in physics this is usually time | |
instantaneous speedspeed at a specific instant in time | |
instantaneous velocityvelocity at a specific instant in time | |
K |
---|
kinematicsthe study of motion without considering its causes | |
