Flashcards

Acceleration

The rate of change of velocity over time. It is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Velocity

The rate of change of position over time. It is measured in meters per second (m/s).

Distance

The total path length traveled by an object.

Displacement

The change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
