Definition of distance
Length of route covered by an object
Definition of displacement
Shortest distance between initial and final position in a specific direction
Definition of speed
Rate of change of distance
Definition of Velocity
Rate of change of displacement
Definition of Acceleration
Rate of change of Velocity
4 Linear Motion Equations
v=u+at
s=(v+u)t/2
s=ut+at^2/2
v^2=u^2+2as

Displacement
Definition of Free Fall Motion
Object fall down due to Gravitational force only
Definition of inertia
The tendency of an object to remain at rest, of if moving to continue its motion in a straight line at uniform velocity
Newton’s First Law Of Motion
An Object will remain at rest or move at uniform velocity unless acted upon by an external force
Factor affecting inertia & its relationship
Mass, The larger the mass, the larger the inertia
Definition of momentum
Product of mass and velocity
Principle of Conservation Of Momentum
The total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision if no external force is action on
