A particle is an object that can be represented as a mass at a single point in space.
This point is called the center of mass of the object. We will learn about this later.
The relationship between the force on the particle and the particle’s acceleration determine the path (trajectory) that the particle will follow.

Velocity measures the motion of an objectIt consists of two parts …
1. The magnitude (speed) which is larger when the object is moving fastand smaller when the object is moving slow.
The turtle has a smaller magnitude of velocity than the rabbit.
2. The direction tells you where the object is going.
The velocity of the airplanes has the same magnitude,but a different direction.

The direction and quantity of “motion” of a particle is given by its velocity.
The average velocity of a particle (whether or not the motion is uniform) is given be a simple equation …
In words, we would say this equation tells us that “the average velocity of a particle is its displacement over the interval during which it moved”.
The slope of this line is the x-component of the
average velocity.

Velocity is constant if it does not change.
This means that the quantity (known as the magnitude) and the direction stay the same.
If the position vs. time graph of a particle’s motion is a straight line,
then the average velocity is the slope of this line and this component of
the motion is uniform.

Another way to model the motion of a particle is to graph velocity vs. time.
Velocity is the derivative (slope) of the position over time.
