Acceleration - The rate of change in velocity over time. Vector quantity, so it has both a numerical value and a direction.
Initial Velocity - The starting velocity of an object. Used to calculate the change in velocity for acceleration.
Final Velocity - The ending velocity of an object. Used to calculate the change in velocity for acceleration.
Delta Velocity (Δv) - The change in velocity. Found by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity.
