Kinematics

Question 1

When might calculus be used instead of SUVAT?

Answer 1

when acceleration is not constant

Question 2

What is the gradient in a displacement time graph?

Answer 2

velocity

Question 3

What is the gradient in a velocity time graph?

Answer 3

acceleration

Question 4

What is the area equivalent to in a v/t graph?

Answer 4

displacment

Question 5

What is the area equivalent to in a a/t graph?

Answer 5

Velocity

Question 6

What does SUVAT stand for?

Answer 6

S= displacment
U= initial v
V= final v
A=acceleration
T=time

Question 7

What is the difference between velocity and speed?

Answer 7

velocity has direction but speed doesnt

Question 8

What is the difference between displacement and distance?

Answer 8

Distance is the whole distance covered whereas displacement is the distance from start to end with direction

Question 9

What does r stand for in kinematics

Answer 9

Position vector

Question 10

How do you find the resultant vector

Answer 10

The sum of seperate velocities

Use triangle

Question 11

When an object is travelling parrallel to i what does this mean

Answer 11

j is constant (k)

Question 12

What does it mean is a particle is travelling northwest in relation to i and j

Answer 12

i = j
