MOTION
To say something is truly moving, you have to observe how it changes relative to a reference point.
How far an object travels will be measured in
meters.
The actual path an object travels
The object may turn and curve.
DISTANCE
Straight line path from start to finish, shortest distance.Tells how far and gives a direction.Measures the change in an object’s position.
DISPLACEMENT
4 Meters
3 Meters
5 Meters

The speed of an object can be determined if we know
The distance an object travels
And the time it takes to go this distance.
If I identify the direction in which that object travels, I am now taking about its velocity.

To calculate how fast an object is moving we need to measureDistance (D) in metersTime (T) in seconds
Velocity = Distance
TimeV = D

Acceleration
Acceleration refers to a change in one of two things…
Speed, or how fast you are moving.
Direction in which you are moving.
Centripetal accelerationOccurs during circular motion.
Time (T) seconds, for which the object travels.Initial Velocity (Vi), or starting velocity of an objectFinal Velocity (Vf), or the ending velocity of the object.
We will use the symbol delta(∆)to indicate the change in velocity of an the object.
If the change in velocity is positive, we will say that the object is speeding up.
If the change in velocity is negative, we will say that the object is slowing down.
We find the change in velocity by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity.
∆ V = Vf – Vi
CHANGE = FINAL – INITIAL

The unit for acceleration is meter or m/s2
