Topic 1 - Forces Flashcards
T or F: A scalar value has a direction?
False
What does a vector value need?
Magnitude and Direction
How is delta represented?
With a triangle
What does delta mean?
Change in ___
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is total distance travelled, displacement is distance from start
T or F: Displacement is a vector value?
True
T or F: Speed uses displacement?
False
What is the equation for Velocity?
V = s/t (velocity = displacement/time)
What is acceleration?
Difference in velocity
How do you calculate acceleration?
Final velocity - initial velocity
How many SUVAT equations are there?
4
T or F: V = U + AT is a SUVAT Equation?
True
What does S stand for in the SUVAT equations?
Displacement
What is the symbol for time in SUVAT?
T
Manipulate this equation to equal A: V^2 = U^2 + 2AS
A = (V^2 - U^2) / 2S
