Motion Terms

  1. Time (t):

    Time is measured in seconds (s).

    The values in this column represent the elapsed time from the start of the motion.

  2. Position (Position):

    Position is measured in centimeters (cm).

    It represents the displacement of the object from its initial position at each given time.

  3. Distance per Second (Dist per second):

    This column represents the distance covered by the object in each second.

    The values are constant at 50.0 cm, indicating that the object is covering a consistent distance of 50 centimeters in each second.

  4. Speed (Speed):

    Speed is the rate of change of position with respect to time.

    In this case, the speed is also constant at 50.0 cm/s, indicating that the object is moving at a steady speed of 50 centimeters per second.

  5. Average Speed (Average Speed):

    Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

    Since the distance per second is constant at 50.0 cm and the time intervals are consistent, the average speed is also 50.0 cm/s.
