P9 - Motion Flashcards
How do you calculate speed?
Speed = distance / time
If distance is the y axis and time is the x axis, what would a horizontal lin be?
No movement (stationary)
What does SUVAT stand for?
Distance
Velocity (Inital)
Velocity (final)
Acceleration
Time
What is the equation for velocity?
Velocity (V)= Distance (S) / time (t)
What is the equation for acceleration?
a = v - u / t
What is another important equation for p9?
v2 - u2 = 2as
What is the unit for Intial Velocity?
Metres per second (m/s)
What is the unit for Final Velocity?
Metres per second (m/s)
What is the unit for acceleration?
M/s*2
What is the unit for time?
Seconds (s)
What does ‘Uniform Acceleration’ mean?
Speeding up or slowing down at a constant rate
