Speed and Velocity Flashcards
1
Q
Displacement
A
A vector quantity, the change in position of an object.
2
Q
Distance
A
A scalar quantity, the amount of distance an object travelled.
3
Q
Scalar Quantities
A
Described by only a magnitude
4
Q
Vector Quantities
A
Described by both magnitude, and direction.
5
Q
v = s/t
A
velocity = displacement/time
6
Q
s = d/t
A
speed = distance/time
7
Q
Magnitude
A
Distance, quantity
8
Q
Initial velocity
A
Velocity at t = 0
9
Q
Final Velocity
A
Velocity after time is elapsed
10
Q
Acceleration
A
Change in velocity (Δv) over Change in time (Δt)
11
Q
Momentum
A
Mass (p) = mass (m) x velocity (v)
