Motion Flashcards
1
Q
Distance,d
A
-How far one point is from another point (total ground travelled)
2
Q
Displacement,s
A
Distance with direction
3
Q
speed definition, formula and unit
A
Total distance travelled per unit of time
formula: speed = distance/time
Unit: m/s, ms^-1
4
Q
Velocity definition, formula and unit
A
speed with direction
formula: velocity = displacement/time
Unit: m/s (direction)
5
Q
Acceleration definition, formula and unit
A
change in velocity per unit of time
formula: a= (v-u)/t
v= final velocity, u = initial velocity
Unit: m/s2, ms^-2
6
Q
Kinematic equations :)
A
- V = u + at - (s)
- S = 1/2(u+v)t - (a)
- S = ut + 1/2at^2 - (v)
- V^2 = 2as + u^2 - (t)
7
Q
What affects terminal velocity
A
the lighter the object, the faster it reaches terminal velocity
