Question

directions:

1. drag and drop the correct definition, symbol, and measuring units into the graphic organizer.

glossary of terms
term definition symbol units
distance
displacement
time
position
speed
velocity

Explanation:

Match each term to its standard definition, symbol, and metric/imperial units based on physics kinematics conventions:

1. Distance: Total path traveled over time, uses path-length symbols and distance units.
2. Displacement: Straight line between start/end points, uses position change symbols and length units.
3. Time: Duration of an event, uses time symbols and time units.
4. Position: Object's location in space, uses position symbols and length units.
5. Speed: How far an object travels over time (scalar), uses speed symbols and speed units.
6. Velocity: Speed with a direction (vector), uses velocity symbols and speed units.

Answer:

Term	Definition	Symbol	Units
Displacement	Linear distance between start and end points	$\vec{d}$ or $d$	mi, km, m, cm, ft, yd
Time	How long something takes	$t$	hr, s, min, yr
Position	An object's place in time	$x$ or $d$	mi, km, m, cm, ft, yd
Speed	How far an object travels	$v$	km/hr, mph, m/s
Velocity	Speed with a direction	$\vec{v}$ or $v$	km/hr, mph, m/s
