A simplified version of a motion diagram in which the moving object is replaced by a series of single points
Model
Particle Model
Motion Diagram
Coordinate System
A system used to describe motion that gives the zero point location of the variable being studied and the direction in which the values of the variable increase
Motion diagram
Particle model
Coordinate system
Origin
A series of images showing the positions of a moving object at equal time intervals
Model
Motion diagram
Position
Distance
A representation of an idea, even structure, or object to help people better understand it
Position
Magnitude
Origin
Model
A quantity, such as temperature or distance, that is just a number without any direction
Time interval
Scalar
Position-time graph
Displacement
The difference between two times
Instantaneous position
Time interval
Position-time graph
Average velocity
The distance and direction from the origin to an object
Origin
Displacement
Position
Vector
The position of an object at any particular instant
Position time graph
Instantaneous position
Average speed
Instantaneous velocity
A measure of motion that tells the speed and direction of an object at a specific instant
Instantaneous position
Magnitude
Instantaneous velocity
Origin
A change in position having both magnitude and direction is equal to the final position minus the initial position
Magnitude
Origin
Average speed
Displacement
A quantity, such as position that has both magnitude and direction
Vector
Average speed
Origin
Displacement
A graph that can be used to determine an objects velocity and position as well as where and when 2 objects meet, made by plotting the time data on a horizontal axis and the position data on a vertical axis
Position time graph
Average velocity
Average speed
Distance
The distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance; for uniform motion, it is the absolute value of the slope of the objects position time graph
Average speed
Average velocity
Origin
Magnitude
The quotient of an objects change in position to the time interval during which the change occurred; for uniform motion, it is the slope of the objects position time graph
Displacement
Position time graph
Average velocity
Time interval
The entire length of an objects path, even if the object moves in many directions
Position
Magnitude
Distance
Scalar
The point at which both variables in a coordinate system have the value zero
Vector
Position
Origin
Coordinate system
A measure of size
Vector
Scalar
Length
Magnitude
