Term

Scalar

Definition

-A quantity that describes mesurement.


Example: 

5cm, 2in, 50km/h...etc.

Term

Vector

Definition

-A quantity or mesurement in which direction is included.


Example: 5cm[North], 3in[-->], etc..

Term

Distance

Definition

-Total amount travelled


Example:

Term

Position

Definition

-How far away an object is relative to its origin departure point.


Example:

 

Term

Time Interval

Definition

-Difference between the initial time and the final time.


Example:

It's like the space between two point(just change the points to "time")

Term

Displacement

Definition

-The Straight-line distance and direction from one point to another.


Example:

A person walked 10km north and 5 km south, the distance he walked was 15km but the displacement was 5km[N]

 

Term

Uniform Motion

Definition

-Also known as linear relation(straight line)

-An object travels equal distance in equal amount of time.

-There's no absolute uniform motion in reality.


Example:

Term

Slope

Definition

-The line in the graph

-represented the velocity in the position-time graph.

-represented the acceleration in the velocity-time graph.

Term

Velocity

Definition

-A vector that is speed with a direction.


Example:

5km/h[N], 7m/s[S]

Term

Acceleration

Definition

-acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.


a=Δv/Δt

Term

Initial/Final Time

Definition

-initial time: the time that an object began to move.

-Final time: the time that an object stop moving.

-The amount of the time between initial and final time called the time interval


Example:

 

Term

Position-time Graph

Definition

-A graph that shows the relationship between the displacement and the time.


Example:

[image]

Term

Velocity-time Graph

Definition

-the graph that shows the relationship between the velocity and the time.

-the slope of the velocity-time graph is the acceleration.


Example:
