The study of how things move. It seeks to measure things like position (displacement), speeds, velocity, and acceleration
This type of measurement provides two pieces of information, the magnitude, AND the direction. Some examples are displacement, velocity, and net force
Which of the following activities would produce a positive displacement (a displacement that doesn't equal zero).

Why can't the little boy walking in the sandbox (D) be a reference point for the runner?
In the picture below, lines A and B represent different types of motion/paths of travel of the airplane. Label these lines by typing the name for each type of motion/path of travel in the space below.
Line A is an example of ________________ , and Line B is an example of _____________ .

P.S. Ignore the little circles on line A, they are just illustrating various stops the plane made on its route.
Just type the words IN ORDER separated by a comma and a space.
Which turtle had the quickest speed at the beginning (in the first 2 minutes) of the race?

Every summer Susan drives 3,900 km to Michigan. If the trip takes her 60 hours, what is her average speed for the trip?
Belinda walks 50 meters down the hall (East) before realizing she dropped her pen somewhere along the way. She travels 24 meters back down the hallway (West) to where her pencil lays on the ground. The whole trip took her 2 minutes. What is her velocity?
During the chicken race, Hank the chicken was traveling at a speed of 10 ft/min at 8:05, and by 8:12 he was traveling at a rate of 52 ft/min. What was his acceleration rate during these 7 minutes?
If a chicken travels at an average speed of 13.2 ft/sec and it takes him 45 seconds to cross the road, how long is the road?
Extra Credit: Calculate Myrtle's acceleration rate on leg 3 of the trip.

Measurement of any change in an object's speed or velocity (direction)
The measurement of the rate of motion. The total distance an object travels over a certain amount of time
The measurement of the total length of the path traveled by an object while it is in motion
The measurement of the duration of the motion (it is always equal to ▵T)
The measurement of the rate (and direction) at which an object's position changes
The measurement of an object's change in position (using an arrow that points in a straight line) from its initial position to its final position.
