NGSS.MS-PS3-1

the duration or interval over which motion occurs

• time
• speed
• distance
• force

an object is not moving; it remains in the same position over time

• Speed

• Moving slowly
• Stationary
• In motion

the specific location of an object at a given point in time, relative to a reference point or coordinate system

• Acceleration
• Velocity
• Position
• Distance

type of motion in which an object moves along a straight path in a single direction

• Circular motion
• Rotational motion
• Oscillatory motion
• Linear motion

total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of its direction

• Velocity
• Distance
• Speed
• Acceleration

the speed remains the same throughout the entire motion, with no acceleration or deceleration occurring

• Constant Speed

• Variable motion
• Accelerated motion
• Constant acceleration

North, East, South, and West

• Cardinal Directions

• Speed

• Velocity

• Up, Down, Left, Right

shows how far an object travels in a given amount of time (graph)

• Speed-Time Graph
• Distance-Time Graph
• Acceleration-Time Graph
• Velocity-Time Graph

the rate at which an object changes its velocity

• velocity
• speed
• momentum
• acceleration
