Section 1 - Motion Flashcards
1
Q
Formula for Distance
A
d=vt
distance = speed x time
2
Q
What is displacement
A
Measure of how far an object has moved in a given direction
3
Q
Formula for Speed
A
s=d/t
Speed = Distance/Time
4
Q
Formula for Average Speed
A
v=d/t
Average Speed = Distance Travelled/Time Taken
5
Q
What is Velocity
A
The rate at which displacement changes over time
6
Q
Formula for Velocity
A
v=d/t
Velocity = Displacement/Time
7
Q
Formula for Change in Velocity
A
v-u
Final Velocity - Initial Velocity
8
Q
Vectors
A
Quantities that have both a magnitude and direction
9
Q
Scalars
A
Quantities with only magnitude (size) and no direction
10
Q
Formula for Acceleration
A
a = change in Velocity/change in Time
