Motion Definition
….
Distance Definition
-The total length traveled between two points
-Distance is path DEPENDENT
-It is a SCALOR quantity
Displacement Definition
-The straight-line distance between an object and its origin
-The length between an object & its origin
-Displacement is path INDEPENDENT
- Displacement is a VECTOR quantity
Speed Definition & Equation
-Distance per unit time
- Unit- m/s= ms (-1)
Speed= distance/time
= v = d/t
- Speed is a SCALAR quantity
Velocity Definition & Equation
-Velocity is the displacement per unit time
-Velocity is the rate of displacement
- Unit- m/s = ms (-1)
Velocity= displacement/time
= v= s/t
-Velocity is a VECTOR quantity
Acceleration Definition & Equation
- Acceleration is the velocity per unit time
-Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
-Unit- ms (-1)/s = ms (-1)
Acceleration is a VECTOR quantity
-change in velocity= final velocity - initial velocity
= v - u
Acceleration = change in velocity/time or v - u/t
