ARC
ARC an abbreviation of average rate of change is the change in the value of a quantity divided by the elapsed time. For a function, this is the change in the y-value (Δy) divided by the change in the x-value (Δx) for two distinct points on the graph.
Average Rate of Change
Average rate of change or ARC is the change in the value of a quantity divided by the elapsed time. For a function, this is the change in the y-value (Δy) divided by the change in the x-value (Δx) for two distinct points on the graph.
Velocity
The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time.
Wavelength
In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave. In other terms the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
Work
In physics, work is the product of force and displacement. A force is said to do work if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force.
