Motion: a change in position, measured by distance and time.
ex: Katniss running, tripping, and crawling to safety.
Frame of Reference: The point from which movement is determined.
ex: The space between the tributes running from their platforms to the cornucopia.
Speed: The distance traveled by a moving object per unit of time.
ex: The time it took the tributes to reach the cornucopia from their platforms.
Average Speed: The speed of moving objects is not always constant.
ex: How fast Marvel throws his spear.
Acceleration: The rate of change in velocity.
ex: before Peeta jumps on the cornucopia he steps back to gain speed.
Velocity: Speed in a given direction.
ex: How fast Marvel throws his spear.
Deceleration: A term commonly used to mean a decrease in speed.
ex: The tributes running and slowing down to catch their breath.
Force: Any push or pull.
ex: Katniss pulling the arrow and string back to realease the arrow.
Friction: A force that opposes motion: Sliding, Rolling, & Fluid.
ex: Foxface sliding down a muddy hill.
Gravity: the force of attraction between all objects in the universe.
ex: The tributes were able to walk on the ground without floating up.
Free Fall: An object falling under the influence of gravity.
ex: A Tracker Jacker nest falling from a tree after the branch the nest was attached to was cut.
Weight: the effort of gravity on an objects mass.
ex: The beasts were big and full of muscle which caused them to be heavy.
Momentum: The product of the mass of an object and its velocity.
ex: The further back Katniss pulls back on her bow would cause the arrow to have more speed and force.
ex: Katniss running, tripping, and crawling to safety.
