1 PART III. KINEMATICS A. VOCABULARY REVIEWS On the line, write the term that correctly completes each statement. Use each term once. 1. rise (Δy) The vertical separation of any two points on a curve is the 2. time interval The difference between two clock readings is the 3. clock reading A measurement of time is a 4. displacement The change in position of an object is the 5. run (Δx) The horizontal separation of any two points on a curve is the 6. constant velocity An object that has the same average velocity for all time intervals is moving at 7. scalar A quantity that has only magnitude is a quantity. 8. speed The magnitude of velocity is the 9. slope The ratio of rise to run is the of a line of a graph. 10. vector A quantity has both magnitude and direction 11. average velocity The change of position divided by the time interval over which the change occurred is the 12. acceleration The change of velocity divided by the time interval over which the change occurred is the 13. average speed The total distance divided by the total time. 14. initial velocity The velocity when the clock reading is zero is the 15. final velocity The velocity after acceleration has occurred is the 16. acceleration due to gravity (g) The constant acceleration that acts on falling bodies is _ 1
