Speed 2, Aceleration, Time graphs Flashcards
what is a scalar
just a quantity
what is a vector
quantity with direction
examples of scalars
speed, distance, energy, mass
examples of vectors
force, acceleration, velocity, displacement
equation of speed
speed = distance moved/ time taken
v = d/t
equation of acceleration
acceleration = change in velocity / time taken
a= v-u / t
what is extension equation ( suvat without the t )
v2=u2 + 2as
distance time graph- stationary object
horizontal line
distance time graph- constant speed
straight diagonal line going up
distance time graph- acceleration
curved line going up
how do you calculate speed on distance time graph
using the gradient
velocity time graph- constant velocity ( speed )
horizontal line
velocity time graph- constant acceleration
straight diagonal line going up
