DESCRIBING MOTION AND GRAPHING MOTION Flashcards
In physics, it is the phenomenon in which an object changes its position overtime
motion
a branch of physics that deals with the study of motion
mechanics
it analyzes the cause of motion
dynamics
it deals with the description of motion
kinematics
refers to the length of the entire path that the object travelled
distance
refers to the shortest distance between the positions of the object
displacement
is defined as distance divided by time of travel
speed
also called speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a land vehicle
speedometer
also called as odograph, is a instrument that indicates the distance travelled by the vehicle
odometer
is seen when there is no change in the instantaneous speed of the object
constant speed
is a speed at a given instant
instantaneous speed
divide the distance by the time of travel
computation of speed
it refers to the speed of an object moving in a specific motion
velocity
divide the displacement by the time of travel
computation of velocity
the rate of change of velocity per unit of time
acceleration
