7 On the move Flashcards
1
Q
displacement
A
distance in given direction
s=vt
2
Q
speed
A
change of distance per unit time
V=s/t
v=2πr /T
3
Q
velocity
A
change of displacement per unit time
4
Q
distance- time graph
A
speed of the object = distance travelled/ time taken = gradient of the line
5
Q
constant velocity
A
moves at the same speed without changing its direction of motion
6
Q
acceleration
A
defined as change of velocity per unit time
vector
7
Q
uniform acceleration
A
V = u+at
gradient of the line on a velocity-time graph
8
Q
acceleration of free fall
A
acceleration of an object acted on only by the force of gravity
