Acceleration in 2D definitions Flashcards

Change in an object's velocity, affecting magnitude, direction, or both, calculated as ΔV/ΔT.

Rate of change of an object's position, with both magnitude and direction.

Parts of a vector that represent its influence in the x and y directions.

Mathematical equation used to calculate the magnitude of a vector from its components.

Size or length of a vector, calculated using the Pythagorean theorem for components.

Orientation of a vector in space, often calculated using trigonometric functions.

Function used to determine the angle of a vector from its components.

Quantity with both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or acceleration.

Mathematical functions like sine and cosine used to relate angles to side lengths in right triangles.

Velocity of an object at the start of a time interval.

Velocity of an object at the end of a time interval.

Duration over which changes in velocity or position are measured.

Part of a vector that represents its influence in the horizontal direction.

Part of a vector that represents its influence in the vertical direction.

Measure of rotation needed to bring one line or plane into coincidence with another.
