SCIENCE VOCABULARY

6.6.19

1. Scalar Quantity
-is the measurement of a medium strictly in magnitude.

2. Vector Quantity
-is a measurement that refers to both the magnitude of the medium as well as the
direction of the movement the medium has taken.

3. Motion
-is the change in position of an object with respect to its surroundings in a given
interval of time.

4. Time
-is defined by its measurement which is Time. Can be expressed as seconds,
minutes, hours and etc.

5. Distance
-is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered"
during its motion.

6. Displacement
-is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final
position of a point P.

7. Speed
-is the distance traveled per unit of time. It is how fast an object is moving.

8. Velocity
-is a measure of how fast something moves in a particular direction.

9. Acceleration
-is a measure of how fast velocity changes.

10. D-T Graph

-If an object moves along a straight line, the distance travelled can be represented
by a distance-time graph.

11. V-T Graph-a horizontal line indicates the object is travelling at a constant
speed.
