Key Questions: |
- What is velocity a measure of?
- Velocity is a speed in a given direction.
- How can the distance travelled by an object in a straight line be represented?
- If an object moves along a straight line, the distance travelled can be represented by a distance?time graph.
- Is velocity a vector or scalar quantity and why?
- Velocity is a vetor quanity as it only has a magnitude (size) and a direction.
- How can the speed of an object be calculated from a distance-time graph?
- The speed of an object can be calculated from the gradient of its distance?time graph. The gradient of a graph is change of y divided by change in x, in this case is change in distance divided by change in time.
- What are the vector - scalar pairs?
- The vector - scalar pairs are displacement : distance
velocity : speed
- (HT only) If an object is accelerating, how can the speed at a time be determined from a distance-time graph?
- (HT only) If an object is accelerating, its speed at any particular time can be determined by drawing a tangent and measuring the gradient of the distance?time graph at that time.
- (HT only) What is constant and what is changing during circular motion?
- (HT only) speed is constant
velocity is changing as direction is changing
