1.2 - Equations of motion

Question 1

What is acceleration?

Answer 1

The rate of change of velocity

Question 2

What would the displacement/time, velocity/time and acceleration/time graphs look like for the same constant velocity?

Answer 2

s/t = constant increasing displacement
v/t = constant velocity
a/t = constant acceleration (=0)

Question 3

What would the displacement/time, velocity/time and acceleration/time graphs look like for the same constant acceleration?

Answer 3

s/t = increasingly increasing displacement
v/t = constant increasing velocity
a/t = constant acceleration
