Displacement in the nᵗʰ second, sₙ
A
sₙ = u + ᵃ/₂(2n-1)
7
Q
Point Object
A
If the size of a body is negligible compared to the distance covered, the body can be considered as a point object.
8
Q
Average acceleration
A
Average acceleration over a time interval is the change in velocity divided by the time interval.
9
Q
Deceleration
A
Acceleration in the opposite direction of velocity.
