Study Notes
Speed
- Speed represents a measure of how fast something moves.
- The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h) for longer distances.
- Average speed is the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.
- Instantaneous speed refers to the speed at any given instant, often different from the average speed.
- A speedometer indicates a vehicle's instantaneous speed.
Velocity
- Velocity is speed in a specific direction.
- Velocity is a vector quantity, possessing both magnitude (speed) and direction.
- Train engineers use speed, while pilots rely on velocity.
- Average velocity is the overall displacement divided by the total time of travel.
- Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at any particular moment.
Acceleration
- Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.
- Acceleration can occur when an object increases or decreases speed, or changes direction.
- It measures the rate of change in velocity, expressed in units of meters per second squared (m/s²).
