Question

match each word with its definition. match the items in the left column to the items in the right column.

1. the length of the entire path an object travels from start to end
2. the change of position of an object from start to finish
3. the property a body possesses as evidenced by its inertia
4. a quantity expressed as a magnitude and a unit
5. displacement is this type of quantity
6. an area of physics dealing with mathematical methods of describing motion
7. that which allows us to place events in their order of happening

Explanation:

1. La definición "the length of the entire path an object travels from start to end" corresponde a "distance" (distancia es la longitud del camino recorrido).
2. "the change of position of an object from start to finish" es la definición de "displacement" (desplazamiento es el cambio de posición).
3. "the property a body possesses as evidenced by its inertia" se refiere a "mass" (la masa es la propiedad relacionada con la inercia).
4. "a quantity expressed as a magnitude and a unit" es la definición de "scalar" (un escalar es una magnitud con valor y unidad).
5. "displacement is this type of quantity" corresponde a "vector" (el desplazamiento es una magnitud vectorial, que tiene magnitud y dirección).
6. "an area of physics dealing with mathematical methods of describing motion" es "kinematics" (cinemática se ocupa del movimiento mediante métodos matemáticos).
7. "that which allows us to place events in their order of happening" es "time" (el tiempo nos permite ordenar los eventos).

Answer:

1. distance
2. displacement
3. mass
4. scalar
5. vector
6. kinematics
7. time
