Kinematics Physical Quantities
1
Q
Position
A
The distance and direction of an object from a reference point.
2
Q
Displacement
A
The change in position of an object.
3
Q
Distance
A
The total length of the path traveled by an object in motion.
4
Q
Average Speed
A
The total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to travel that distance.
5
Q
Velocity
A
The change in position of an object per unit of time.
6
Q
Acceleration
A
How quickly an object’s velocity changes over time (rate of change of velocity).
7
Q
Average Velocity
A
The total displacement, or change in position, divided by the total time for that displacement.
