?
What are vector quantities and examples?
Vector quantities are quantities that have both size and direction. Some examples are displacement- velocity- acceleration- force- weight- momentum
1 of 7
What are scalar quantities and examples?
Scalar quantities do not have direction and have only size. Some examples are distance- speed- time- power- energy
2 of 7
What is the equation for average speed?
Speed = distance ÷ time
3 of 7
How do you calculate acceleration?
Acceleration = change in speed ÷ time taken
4 of 7
What is acceleration free fall?
free-falling object is an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s,
5 of 7
How do you calculate acceleration from a velocity/time graph?
the gradient of the line
6 of 7
How do you calculate the distance on a velocity/time graph
The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled.
