What is displacement?
distance moved in a particular direction, metres
1 of 16
What is instantaneous speed?
speed of an object measured over a very small period of time
2 of 16
What is average speed?
total distance travelled over total time taken
3 of 16
What is velocity?
change in displacement over time, metres per second
4 of 16
What is acceleration?
change in velocity over time, metres per second squared
5 of 16
On a distance-time graph, what is a positive straight line?
constant positive velocity (in positive direction)
6 of 16
On a distance-time graph, what is a straight line?
stationary
7 of 16
On a distance-time graph, what is a straight line?
constant negative velocity (change in direction if proceeds positive velocity)

On a distance-time graph, what does the gradient illustrate?
the velocity
9 of 16
On a velocity-time graph, what does the gradient represent?
acceleration

On a velocity-time graph, what is a positive straight line?
constant acceleration
11 of 16
On a velocity-time graph, what is a straight line?
constant velocity, no acceleration
12 of 16
