Resource summary
As Mechanics
Velocity and acceleration
Rate of movement
Velocity (ms-1)=Displacement (m) / Time (t)
Annotations:
This can also be shown as the simpler as Speed=distance/time
Velocity is the the speed of an object but with a direction
Displacement is the distance but with a direction
These are known as Vector Quantities
Average and instantaneous speed
Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance by total time
To get instantaneous speed you draw a tangent onto a displacement time graph
Example of tangent
You work out the gradient to get the speed. Using the change in X/ Change in Y
Annotations:
Delta X/Delta Y Draw delta using a triangle before the letter
Acceleration
Is defined by the rate of change in velocity
Acceleration (ms-2)= Change in velocity (ms-1)/time taken for velocity to change (s)
