Words and meanings to learn
distance
the total length of the path traveled by an object, irrespective of direction; it is a scalar quantity
gradient
of a graph, is the rate at which one variable changes in relation to another
acceleration
the rate of change of velocity per unit time; it describes how quickly an object's velocity changes and can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down)
time
the duration over which events or movements occur
velocity
the speed of an object in a specific direction; it is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction
