P9:Motion KEY INFO Flashcards
What is the gradient on a distance time graph?
Speed
What is stationary on a distance time graph?
A horizontal line
What is constant speed on a distance time graph?
Straight slope upwards
Equation for speed?
Distance/time
Equation for acceleration?(in equation sheet)
(Final velocity-inital velocity)/time
What is the acceleration of an object?
Change in velocity per second
On a velocity time graph what is a steep upward line?
Acceleration
On a velocity time graph what is a horizonal line?
Constant velocity
On a velocity time graph what is a consistant upward line?
Constant acceleration
What is the distance travelled on a velocity time graph?
Area underneath the line
Equation for distance travelled on a velocity time graph?
0.5( inital velocity+finaly veocity) x time
How do you get the gradient of a sloping line in a distance time graph?
Get a tangent, create a triangle and do rise over run.
This will equal the speed
