Study Notes
Equations of Motion
- Five important quantities describe an object's motion with constant acceleration: displacement (s), initial velocity (u), final velocity (v), acceleration (a), and time taken (t).
- Four equations in the formula book link these quantities together.
Velocity-Time Graphs
- Velocity-time graphs display information about an object's changing speed over time.
- They can show velocity, acceleration, and distance travelled.
- The area underneath a v-t graph represents the total distance travelled.
- To find the area, split the shape into triangles and trapezoids.
Acceleration and Deceleration
- If an object accelerates from rest in time t1 and decelerates back to rest in time t2, the ratio of the accelerations is equal to the ratio of the times.
