  • Acceleration
    The rate of change of velocity per unit time
  • Uniform acceleration
    An object moves with uniform acceleration if its change in velocity is the same in equal time intervals
  • a
    Acceleration in m/s²
  • V
    Velocity in m/s
  • Vu
    Initial velocity in m/s
  • t

    Time in seconds
  • F
    Force in Newtons (N)
  • P
    Momentum in kg.m/s
  • Force
    Change in momentum per unit time
  • The SI unit for acceleration is m/s²
  • Speed
    Change in distance per unit time
  • Initial speed
    Speed at the beginning of a period of time
  • Final speed
    Speed at the end of a period of time
  • Distance
    Length of a path travelled by an object
  • Time
    Duration of a period
  • Uniform speed
    An object covers an equal distance in equal time intervals
  • SI unit of speed
    m/s
  • Another unit of speed
    km/h
  • Velocity
    Change in displacement per unit time
  • Displacement
    Change in position
  • Uniform velocity
    An object has equal changes in displacement in equal time intervals
  • Velocity is a vector quantity
  • Momentum
    Product of the mass and velocity of an object
  • Area under a velocity-time graph
    Speed
  • The area under a velocity-time graph gives the speed
  • Difference between velocity and speed
    Velocity is the change in displacement while speed is the change in distance per unit time
  • What physical quantity is given by the gradient of a distance time graph
    Velocity
  • Momentum
    P
  • P
    Mass * velocity
  • Force
    Ma
  • F
    Mass*acceleration
  • How many atoms are in something determine its Mass
  • Your weight depends on gravity
  • What is the unit of momentum
    Kg m/s
  • Momentum is conserved when there's no external force acting on an object or system.
