Chapter 9 Motion Flashcards
How to calculate speed
Speed(m/s)=d(m) / time(s)
How to find distance
Distance(m)=speed(m/s) x time(s)
How to find time
Time(s)= distance(m) / speed(m/s)
What is accelerarion(formula) aswell
Accelerstion of an object is its change of velocity per second
Acceleration(m/s^2) = change in velocity(m/s) / time taken for the change(s)
What is decleration
Used for when an object slows down
How to calculate distance travelled
Find the area
Usually a shape like triangle or square
How to find gradient of straight line
Gradient of line = height of triangle / base of triangle
How to find gradient of curved line at a certain point
First draw a tangent to the curve then draw suitable triangle with good values to work with then then find gradient of line
