Ch3 Mechanics

3. The velocity of an object at the beginning of a specific time period.
5. Specifically, slowing down. It's a type of acceleration, but in the opposite direction of motion.
6. The distance and direction from the starting point to the ending point of a moving object.
9. The tendency of an object to keep doing what it is doing. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless a force acts on it.
10. How quickly an object's velocity changes. This can mean speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
13. The place where an object is located at a certain time.
14. The speed of an object in a particular direction.

1. Moving at the same speed and in the same direction. No speeding up, slowing down, or turning.
2. How long something takes to happen, measured in seconds, minutes, hours, etc.
4. The force that resists motion when two surfaces rub against each other.
7. How fast an object moves without showing any direction.
8. The velocity of an object at the end of a specific time period.
11. The total length of the path traveled by an object.
12. A push or pull on an object that can make it start moving, stop, or change direction.
