Answer 1

Here is a matching of each word with its correct definition:

1. Acceleration - The rate of change of velocity per unit of time.
2. Displacement - The change in position of an object; the shortest path from the initial to the final position.
3. Speed - The distance traveled per unit of time.
4. Distance - The total ground covered by an object in motion, regardless of direction.
5. Independent Variable - The variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable.
6. Dependent Variable - The variable that is measured in an experiment; it is affected by the independent variable.
7. Motion - The change in position of an object over time.
8. Velocity - The speed of an object in a specific direction.
9. Position-Time Graph - A graph that shows the position of an object at different points in time.
