Essential Vocabulary & Concepts
Picture Core Knowledge or Concept
speed gun  An object is in motion when its distance or location from a reference point changes.
runners
Average  speed is: total distance in a given or total, time.  (Like from the start to finish line.)
(The opposite is instantaneous speed, speed at a given moment in time like on a roller coaster.)
Speed does not give a direction travelled. 
(Speed = Distance ÷ Time)
archery Acceleration is the rate (how fast) at which velocity changes
  1. speeding up (faster if Speedend - Speedstart is positive)
  2. slowing down or deceleration (slower if Speedend - Speedstart is negative)
  3. turning (direction)
Opposite: Constant velocity is when speed and direction do not change.
accelerometer

An accelerometer measures changes in acceleration or jerk.

Electronic acelerometers are used in cars to set off airbags and in runners' speedometers.

missile
Velocity is speed in a given direction.

prediction Vectors or rays are arrows that can show motion and forces.
prediction

 Ways to describe motion with math include:

  1. vector arrows or rays. can show velocity or direction and distance
  2. The equation: speed = distance ÷ time
  3. A line graph with time as x, and distance as y
  4. A map, diagram, or other graphic.
LandSpeed
Scientist

Land speed record.: The science of aerodynamics and wheels.

Technology

The wheel allows rotational motion to help move things with less friction.
