Rectilinear Motion Quiz

Rectilinear motion = Motion along a straight line Displacement = Shortest distance between initial and final position of a point Velocity = Rate of change of displacement Acceleration = Rate of change of velocity

v = u + at = Final velocity equals initial velocity plus acceleration times time s = ut + 0.5at^2 = Displacement equals initial velocity times time plus half of acceleration times square of time v^2 = u^2 + 2as = Square of final velocity equals square of initial velocity plus twice of acceleration times displacement a = (v - u) / t = Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by time

Meter (m) = Unit of length or displacement Second (s) = Unit of time Meter per second (m/s) = Unit of velocity Meter per second squared (m/s^2) = Unit of acceleration
