P2.1 Flashcards
Equation for acceleration? (Without distance)
a = ( v - u ) / t
Equation for acceleration (with distance)
v^2 - u^2 = 2as
Equation for distance
d = s x t
Equation for speed
s = d / t
Equation for time
t = d / s
Equation for kinetic energy
kE = 0.5 x m x v^2
Converting mph to m/s
x miles by 1609 to find metres
x hours by 3600 to find seconds
Divide metres by seconds

- multiply
Displacement, velocity, time
D = v x t
V = d / t
t = d / v
