  1. 4. the scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion
  2. 6. is the variable being tested in a scientific experiment.
  3. 8. the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
  4. 10. usually it is level along the horizontal axis of a graph, that does not change based on human or experimental action; in physics this is usually time
  5. 13. rate at which an object changes its location
  6. 14. the difference in the position of the two marks and is independent of the path taken when traveling between the two marks.
  7. 16. The study of motion without considering its effects.
Down
  1. 1. the velocity of an object at a single point in time and space as calculated by the slope of the tangent line.
  2. 2. system of graduated lines symbolically attached to a body that serve to describe the position of points relative to the body.
  3. 3. The locations of an object at any given time
  4. 5. the maximum extent of size and the direction of an object.
  5. 7. distance traveled divided by time during which motion occurs.
  6. 9. the change in position or displacement (∆x) divided by the time intervals (∆t) in which the displacement occurs.
  7. 11. a vector measurement of the rate of change of motion and direction, including speed and direction.
  8. 12. a line that touches another at exactly one point.
  9. 13. Examples of these quantities include volume, density, speed, energy, mass, time, etc.
  10. 15. a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction.
