Distance-is the total path length between the reference point (house) and the identified position (church).
Distance is a scalar quantity, which means that distance is expressed as magnitude only. It is expressed in units of meter,
kilometer, or feet.
Speedometer- is the instrument use to measure the distance travelled by the object.
Formula: d1+d2=df
Displacement- is the shortest distance (short cut) travelled by the object between the reference point (starting point) and identified
position (final destination). Displacement is the length between the initial and the final position. Displacement is a vector quantity.
Displacement is expressed as magnitude with the corresponding direction.
Formula: (dt=di-df) or (dt=d1-d2)
When can displacement be equal to distance? - When the path traveled is a straight line
Motion- A change of position with respect to a reference point
Average speed-is the distance travelled divided by the time taken. Formula: Average speed=distance/time s=d/t
Velocity – is the distance covered by an object in unit time in given direction. Can be defined as the displacement of the object in
unit time in a given direction. For example, (20km/s east)
Acceleration- It refers to increasing speed, decreasing speed/deceleration, or changing direction. is the rate at which velocity
changes, in other term it is the rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time. For example (20km/s2)
Positive Acceleration- increasing/ accelerating
Negative acceleration-decreasing/decelerating
Zero acceleration- The speed of the object is equal to zero/ constant
From the illustration above, the amplitude of the wave is indicated by what letter? C
Indicate the interval that represents a half wavelength? C to E
LIKE charges repel and opposite charges attract,
An object can gain positive charge by losing electrons,
An object can gain negative charge by gaining electrons.
Free electron- a material that does not allow free movement of electric charges
which of the following can be attracted by a positively charged object? A neutral object
