Chapter 2.1 Flashcards
what is the formula for speed
distance travelled/timetaken
what is the formula for average speed
total distance travelled/total time taken
what is the si unit for speed
m/s
what is uniform speed
Uniform (constant) speed is when the change in the distance travelled by an object per unit time is the same.
what is velocity?
displacement/time taken
what is acceleration
The rate of change of velocity
What is the formula for acceleration
change of velocity/time taken
what is uniform acceleration
An object undergoes uniform (constant) acceleration when the change in the velocity of the object per unit time is the same.
what is the formula for uniform acceleration
acceleration(m/s^2)=final velocity(m/s) - initial velocity(m/s)/Time taken(s)
what is non-uniform acceleration
An object undergoes non-uniform acceleration when the change in the velocity of the object per unit time is not the same.
