Q
Initial velocity (u)
A
metres per second [m s-1]. + direction
2
Q
Final velocity (v)
A
metres per second [m s-1]. + direction
3
Q
Newton’s Equations for Uniformly Accelerated Motion:
A
4
Q
Describing Graphs
A
[zero/+/–] ∴[uniform/changing] ∴ [increasing/decreasing] ∴ gradient.
5
Q
Displacement-time (x-t) graphs
A
gradient = velocity
area = N/A
6
Q
Velocity-time (v-t) graphs
A
gradient = acceleration area = displacement
7
Q
Acceleration-time (a-t) graphs
A
gradient = N/A
area = velocity
