This document defines key terms related to kinematics including free fall, distance, displacement, velocity, speed, and acceleration. Free fall refers to unrestrained motion in a gravitational field. Distance is the total length traveled while displacement includes direction. Velocity includes both speed and direction of an object. Speed is the total distance traveled divided by time. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

The condition of unrestrained motion in a gravitational field.
The total length of the path over which the particle travels. A vector quantity giving the straight-line distance and direction from an initial position to a final position. A vector quantity that includes the speed and direction of an object. The magnitude of the total distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
