Motion
  1. key terms
    1. SPEED
      1. is distance travelled per second
      2. VELOCITY
        1. is displacement travelled per second
          1. it needs a direction
        2. VECTOR
          1. has magnitude (size) and direction
            1. EG. velocity, acceleration, displacement
            2. SCALAR
              1. has a magnitude only
                1. EG. speed, distance, height, mass, time
              2. ACCELERATION
                1. is the rate of change in velocity
              3. Equations
                1. SPEED = distance / time
                  1. VELOCITY = displacement / time
                    1. ACCELERATION = change in velocity / change in time
                    2. DISTANCE-TIME graphs
                      1. SPEED and GRADIENT are the same
                        1. GRADIENT = change in y / change in x
                          1. work out speed
                          2. VELOCITY - TIME graphs
                            1. work out acceleration
                              1. ACCELERATION and GRADIENT are the same
                                1. GRADIENT = change in y / change in x
                                  1. = change in velocity / change in time
                                    1. = acceleration
                                  1. You can also work out the distance travelled
                                    1. area = speed x time = distance
                                      1. its the area under the graph of the section you want to find out
