When can we use suvat
When an object is in uniform acceleration
Define uniform acceleration
Where the acceleration of an object remains constant
Define distance (travelled by an object)
The distance travelled by an object (is a scalar quantity) describes the amount of ground the object has covered
Define displacement
The overall distance travelled from starting point (is a vector quantity)
Define speed
Describes the distance travelled per unit of time (is a scalar quantity)
Define velocity
The rate of change of displacement
Define acceleration
The rate of change of velocity
What does a Displacement-time graph show
Shows change in displacement over time

The velocity
What does a Velocity-time graph show
Shows the change in velocity over time
What does the gradient of a Velocity-time graph represent
The acceleration
What does the area under the Velocity-time graph represent
The displacement
