Acceleration Vocabulary

This is a speed calculation of total distance divided by total time. Technically objects do not have constant speed.

• constant speed

• average speed

• slope

• mass

In math or physics the steepness of a line on a graph.

• distance

• mass

• slope

• time

Speed that does not change over time.

• friction

• constant speed

• force

• distance

The measurement of the force of gravity acting on an object.

• speedometer

• weight

• mass

• speed
