Linear motion Flashcards
Speed definition?
Rate of change of position
Distance definition?
Path a body takes from start to finish
How do you work out distance?
Speed x time
Velocity definition?
Rate of change of displacement
Mass definition?
Quality of mater a body has
Weight definition?
Mass x gravity
Displacement definition?
Shortest route from start to finish in a straight line
Acceleration definition?
Rate of change of velocity
Momentum definition?
Product of mass and velocity
Impulse definition?
Time a force is applied
Who do you work out impulse?
Force x time
How do you work out velocity?
Displacement / time
How do you work out acceleration?
Change in velocity / time
How do you work out momentum?
Mass x velocity
How do you work out speed?
Distance / time
