AS Physics Unit 1.4 Linear Motion Flashcards
1
Q
What is the definition of displacement?
A
Displacement is defined as the distance moved in a particular distance.
2
Q
What is the definition of speed?
A
Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance in ms^-1.
3
Q
What is the definition of velocity?
A
Velocity is defined a the rate of change of displacement in ms^-1.
4
Q
What is the definition of acceleration?
A
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity in ms^-2.
5
Q
What is the equation of the gradient for a displacement(s) - time (t) graph?
A
Gradient = Velocity = change in displacement / change in time.
6
Q
How would you find the gradient of a velocity (v) - time (t) graph?
A
Gradient = Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time.
