AQA Physics P2 - Motion

1. The steeper the line on a distance time graph, the greater the speed it represents.

2. SPEED (METRE/SECOND, M/S)=

DISTANCE TRAVELLED (METRE, M)

DIVIDED

TIME TAKEN (SECOND, S)

1. Velocity is speed in a given direction

2. Acceleration is change of velocity per second

3. A body travelling at a steady speed is accelerationg if its changing direction

4. ACCELERATION = CHANGE IN VELOCITY

DIVIDED

TIME TAKEN FOR THE CHANGE

1. The slope of the line on a velocity time graph represents acceleration.

2. The area under the line on a velocity time graph represents distance travelled
