Objects Moving

       In physics class, my class and I whiteboard multiple topics. Including... Distance : the total amount of travel Position : where an object is in relation to the reference point Displacement : change in position from stating point Speed : the rate at which an object moves, ex. meters/second Velocity : the rate at which an object moves in addition with the direction (expressed by a + or -) X vs T Graph : shows the position of an object at a certain time (independent variable is time, dependent variable is position), velocity is derived from the slope V vs T Graph : shows the velocity of an object at a certain time, a horizontal line shows a constant velocity, unless it is zero then it has no velocity, a instantaneous change in velocity is shown by a vertical line connecting the line of the first velocity to the line of the second velocity, displacement can be found by multiplying the area of the "box" Average Speed : the total distance of an objects motion / tot
