Match the following terms with their definitions:

Motion = When an object changes its position Reference point = The place from where you measure, record, or witness an event Distance = How far an object has moved Vector = A quantity having direction as well as a magnitude

Match the following speed terms with their definitions:

Speed = The distance an object travels per unit of time Average speed = Total distance traveled divided by total time traveled Instantaneous speed = The speed at any given point Velocity = The speed of an object and the direction of its motion

Match the following terms with their symbols:

Displacement = $\Delta x$ Speed = $s$ Velocity = $v$ Slope = The steepness of a line

Match the following terms with their units of measurement:

<p>Distance = Meters (m) Speed = Meters per second (m/s) Displacement = Meters (m) Velocity = Meters per second (m/s)</p> Signup and view all the answers
