Kinematics Flashcards
1
Q
Displacemant
A
Shortest distance travelled between two points in a given direction
2
Q
Average speed
A
Distance travelled / time taken
3
Q
Average velocity
A
Displacement / time taken
4
Q
Acceleration
A
An object is accelerating if it is changing velocity
5
Q
Equation for acceleration
A
Change in velocity/ time taken
(a = Δv/Δt = v-u/t)
6
Q
Instantaneous speed
A
The rate of change of distance
7
Q
Instantaneous velocity
A
The rate of change of displacement
8
Q
SUVAT Equations
A
V = u+ath
V ² = u ²+2as
S = (v+u)t/2
S = ut+1/2at ²
S = vt+1/2at ²
