Distance Formula

Distance= Speed x Time

<p>Distance= Speed x Time</p>

Displacement Formula

Δx= x2-x1

Displacement= Final - Initial

Speed Formula

Speed= Distance Traveled/Time Elapsed

s= d/t

<p>Speed= Distance Traveled/Time Elapsed</p><p>s= d/t</p>

Velocity Formula

v= Δx / Δt

Velocity= Displacement / Time Elapsed

*Average speed is not necessarily equal to the magnitude of the average velocity

Acceleration Formula

a= Δv / Δt

Acceleration= Change in Velocity / Time Elapsed

<p>a= <span>Δv / Δt</span></p><p>Acceleration= Change in Velocity / Time Elapsed</p>

Positive/Negative Acceleration

Positive= right

Negative= left

The acceleration vector (orange) points to the left because the car slows down as it moves to the right.

Positive/Negative Displacement

Positive Displacement= Right

Example: Δx= 30.0m - 10.0m = 20.0m

Negative Displacement= Left

Example: Δx= 10,0m - 30.0m= -20.0m

<p>Positive Displacement= Right</p><p>Example: <span>Δx= 30.0m - 10.0m = 20.0m</span></p><p>Negative Displacement= Left</p><p>Example: <span>Δx= 10,0m - 30.0m= -20.0m</span></p>

Positive/Negative Velocity

The average velocity is positive for an object moving to the right along the x axis and negative when the object moves to the left.

*The direction of the average velocity is always the same as the direction of the displacement.
