Kinematics Flashcards
1
Q
Displacement
A
Vector quantity — how far out of place an object its / object’s overall change in position / distance travelled in a specific direction
2
Q
Speed
A
Rate of change of distance of an object at a specific instant
3
Q
Velocity
A
Rate of change of displacement of an object at a specific instant
4
Q
Acceleration
A
The rate of change of velocity of an object at a specific instant
5
Q
v =
A
v = u + at
6
Q
s =
A
ut + 1/2 at^2
7
Q
v^2=
A
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
8
Q
s =
A
s = (u+v)/2 x t
9
Q
Eqn without time
A
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
10
Q
Eqn without displacement
A
v = u + at
11
Q
Eqn without acceleration
A
s = (u+v)/2 x t
12
Q
Eqn without final velocity
A
s = ut + 1/2 at^2
13
Q
Distance
A
Scalar quantity— refers to how much ground an object has covered during its motion
