Kinematics Flashcards
1
Q
I know what SUVAT refers to
A
S: displacement (distance)
U: starting (initial) velocity
V: final velocity
A: acceleration
T: time
2
Q
Deceleration or retardation is . . .
A
Negative acceleration. The particle is slowing down
3
Q
I know to ensure all measurements are in the following base SI units
A
Time: seconds
Displacement: meters
Velocity: meters per second
Acceleration: meters per second per second
4
Q
I know the five SUVAT formulae
A
5
Q
An object moving vertically in a straight line can be modelled as a particle with a constant downward acceleration, g.
A
g = 9.8 ms-2
6
Q
In a speed time graph I know how to find the distance and acceleration of a particle.
A
Distance: Area under the graph
Acceleration: Gradient of the graph
