New cards
2
displacement
Shortest distance between two points on the line of travel independent of path
New cards
3
Velocity
Rate of change of displacement, or speed in a given direction.
New cards
4
How is velocity calculated?
Velocity (ms-1) = change in displacement (m) / change in time (s).
New cards
5
Acceleration
rate of change of velocity per unit time
New cards
6
Rate of change
Change in a quantity relative to another quantity, usually time
New cards
7
Average speed
total distance travelled divided by time taken to travel that distance
New cards
8
Instantaneous Speed
rate of change of distance at a given instant
New cards
9
Average velocity
total displacement divided by time taken to achieve that displacement
New cards
10
Uniform motion
motion with no change in velocity, i.e. zero acceleration
