Unit 1a: One Dimensional Kinematics vocabulary

the location of an object in reference to an origin

the length of the path an object traveled

the magnitude and direction of the change in position of an object

motion of an object that travels equal distances in equal intervals of time; the motion of an object that is experiencing no external, net force

the tendency of an object to remain in motion or remain at rest unless acted on by an external, net force

The center of mass of a system in uniform motion will remain in uniform motion unless acted on by an external, net force

a variable that has both magnitude (size) and direction; like velocity, displacement, or acceleration

a variable that only has a magnitude; like speed, position, or distance

the motion of an object with respect to the reference frame of another object

the perspective or vantage point from which you view an object's motion; the laws of physics are independent of this
