Across
- 2. the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate.
- 5. The total length of the path travelled; is always a positive number; is a scalar; measured with the unit meters (m)
- 6. of reference, A defined origin and axes that specify the directions (N, S, E, W; left, right, up, down) in a problem
- 7. equations, Equations that tell the relationship between initial and final velocity, displacement, time, and acceleration; are only valid when acceleration is constant
- 10. The change in an object’s position from its starting point to its ending point; is a vector that points from the starting point to the ending point; measured with the unit meters (m)
- 13. Where an object is located relative to a frame of reference; measured with the unit meters (m)
- 14. x-axis; the slope of the line equals the velocity
- 15. a line straight or curved that shows relation between two quantities out of which one varies as a result of change in other
- 18. speed How “fast” an object travels; the distance an object travels divided by the length of time travelled; is a scalar; measured with the unit meters/second (m/s)
- 19. the amount of time between two given points in time
- 20. The “steepness” of a straight line on a graph; the change in the y-variable divided by the change in the x-variable; can be positive (uphill), negative (downhill), or zero (horizontal).
- 21. speed, The speed of an object at a single moment of time; equals the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity; usually referred to as just “speed”; is a scalar; measured with the unit meters/second (m/s)
Down
- 1. A quantity that has both magnitude and direction
- 3. the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion
- 4. Graph the x-axis; the slope of the line equals the acceleration
- 5. a course along which someone or something moves
- 8. velocity, The velocity of an object at a single moment of time; usually referred to as just “velocity”; is a vector; measured with the unit meters/second (m/s)
- 9. The change in velocity per unit of time; occurs when an object increases or decreases its speed and/or changes the direction it is moving; is a vector; measured with the unit meters/second2 (m/s2) which is equivalent to “meters per second per second”
- 11. vs. Time Graph, A graph of motion with position on the y-axis and time on
- 12. vs. time graph, a graph of motion with velocity on the y-axis and time on
- 16. A quantity that only has magnitude
- 17. velocity An object’s displacement divided by the length of time travelled; is a vector; measured with the unit meters/second (m/s)
