science - speed Flashcards
gradient (speed) =?
change in distance / change in time
if a graphs line is going down what does it mean
its speed is decreasing at a steady pace
if a graphs line goes up what does it mean
its increasing in speed at a steady pace
what is the equation for speed
speed=distance / time
if a graph line is straight what does it mean
it is parked/resting
what is the equation for distance
distance=speed x time
what is the equation for time
time = distance / speed
what does FIFA stand for
Find the formula
Input the numbers
Figure out conversions (if there are any)
Answer the question
what is the difference between speed and velocity
speed is a scator measurement - direction is not important
velocity is a vector measurement - direction is important
what is the equatsion for acceleration
acceleration = change in velocity / time taken
