Movement and Position Flashcards
1
Q
Speed
A
Distance / Time. The equation is v = d / t
2
Q
Distance-time graphs
A
Show how far away a object is from the base position compared to the time taken to reach there. Straight line shows constant speed.
3
Q
Velocity
A
Increase in displacement / Time.
4
Q
Acceleration
A
Change in velocity / Time. The equation is a = (v-u) / t
5
Q
Velocity-time graphs
A
Shows the speed of an object at that time. Level line shows constant speed. Gradient of straight line shows acceleration. Area under graph shows distance travelled
6
Q
Ticker Tape
A
The further the dots, the higher the speed of the object. 5 dots made per 0.1 seconds.
