Kinematics Flashcards
1
Q
Define Distance
A
The total path travelled by an object.
2
Q
Define Displacement
A
It is the shortest distance moved by an object from a fixed reference point from a specified direction.
3
Q
Define speed
A
It is the rate of change of distance.
v = d/t
4
Q
Define velocity
A
It is the rate of change of displacement.
v = s/t
5
Q
Define acceleration
A
It is the rate of change of velocity.
a = (v-u)/t
