Forces Flashcards
What is a Scalar quantity
Something that only shows size or direction
What is a vector quantity
Something that shows size and direction
Equation for velocity
V=s/t
Equation for acceleration
Acceleration =final velocity- initial velocity
Time
How to find distance in velocity time graph
Area under the line
What does a horizontal line mean on a velocity time graph
Constant velocity
What does a horizontal line mean on a distance time graph
Stationary
What does a straight line mean on a velocity time graph
Constant acceleration
What does a straight line mean on a distance time graph
Constant speed
What does a curved line upwards mean on a velocity time graph
Increasing acceleration
What does a curved line downwards mean on a velocity time graph
Increasing deceleration
What does a curved line mean on a distance time graph
Acceleration/deceleration
Equation for acceleration/displacement
2*acceleration *displacement=final velocity^2 -initial velocity^2
