Forces and motion!
- Speed, velocity &acceleration
- speed
- average speed =distance moved/time taken
- on most journeys, the speed of a car varies, so the acctual speed
is usually different- than the average speed
- it is a SCALAR quantity
- measured in m/s
- velocity
- velocity means the speed fof
something AND its direction of
travel
- it is a VECTOR quantity
- measured in m/s
- acceleration
- something is accelerating if its velocity is changing
- average acceleration = change in velocity/ time taken
- a = v-u / t
- u= initial
velocity, v=
final velocity
- measured in m/s^2
- Free Fall
- The acceleration of free fall, g
- Acceleration of free fall is the same for ALL objectrs falling
nearthe earth's surface.
- The acceleration of free fall is represented by the symbol g , its
value varies slightly from one place to another beausethe earths
gravitational pull varies the simple figure used for equations is 10m/s^2
- up and down
