Motion: a change in position relative to some fixed object.
Reference Point: the fixed object used to determine another object’s motion.
Distance: The length between two points.
Speed: The distance an object travels in one unit of time
Formula for Speed: Distance / Time ( / means divided by )
Velocity: an object’s speed in a given direction.
Acceleration: the change in velocity over time. Three examples are : an increase in speed
a decrease in speed, or a change in direction
Formula for Acceleration : Final Velocity – Initial Velocity / Time for change
