Kinematics Mod 1

26/3 class notes

displacement

magnitude & direction of object from its origin
(vector quantity)

direction is where u end looking towards the origin

distance

total length travelled
(scalar quantity)

dimension

one way in 2D as in left to right or top to bottom

whats the change in velocity for 5m/s and -5m/s

v_final - v_initial = 10m/s

average acceleration

a_avg = Δv/Δt (m/s²)

interconnected

distance & displacement → speed & velocity → acceleration
