Define Kinematics
The Quantitative description of an object's motion
Define Displacement
a vector quantity, indicates the separation of one point from another and the direction of
that separation
Formula Of Displacement
Final position - initial position
Define Velocity
A vector quantity that defines how fast and in what direction an object moves
Define Speed
similar to velocity, it measures how fast an object moves, however it does not define how far or
in what direction
Formula for Speed
Distance traveled divided by time required to go that far
Formula for Velocity
Displacement divided by time taken
Define Instantaneous Velocity
How fast an object moves at each instance of time and the direction of that moton
Formula for Instantaneous one dimensional Velocity
Change in rate divided by change in time
Formula for instantanious Velocity
Change in displacement divided by change in time
Define Acceleration
When an object's velocity changes
Formula for Acceleration
Change in velocity divided by elapsed time
Formula for Instantanious Acceleration
Change in velocity divided by change in time
