Q

Speed vs velocity and the formula for average speed

A

Speed is the distance travelled per unit time

Velocity is the displacement travelled per unit time

Average velocity is total displacement over total time

Q

What information can you get from a distant time graph

A

YOU ONLY CAN GET SPEED WITH THE GRADIENT

So find the gradient at any point in this graph to get the speed at that point in time

Q

What information can you get from SPEED TIME GRAPH

A

To find ACCELERATION use GRADIENT FOR THIS GRAPH

To find DISTANCE use the AREA UNDER GRAPH

Q

Acceleration due to free fall

A

Near the surface of the earth the acceleration OF FREE FALL FOR AN OBJECT IS CONSTANT AND IS APPROXIMATELY 10!!!!

TROY 10 pls remember 10

Q

Effects of air resistance.

A

In real life always have air resistance the only time where no air resistance is in vacuum( not air, liquid or solid like in outer space) or in your questions

AIR RESISTANCE IS A FORCE SO LIKE A HAND PUSHING it will increase till its equal to the weight of the object so the guy will fall at constant speed

This constant speed is TERMINAL VELOCITY
