- Speed, Velocity and Acceleration
- Velocity
- Velocity = Distance / Time
- You must give a direction
- Simply is the speed of something in a given direction
- Velocity is given in m/s but ...
- You must give a direction
- On velocity -time graph, objects travelling at a constant are represented by a straight line
- Acceleration is represented by a line slopping upwards
- Deceleration is found by a line slopping downwards
- Increasing acceleration is represented by a curved line
- Velocity = Distance / Time
- Speed
- Speed= Distance / Time
- On a distance-time graph a stationary object is represented by a straight flat line
- Objects traveling at a constant speed are represented by a slopping line
- Acceleration
- Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time Taken
- Acceleration is when an object is going faster
- Deceleration is when an object is slowing down
- Acceleration is when an object is going faster
- The units for Acceleration is m/s^2
- Velocity
