  • displacement
    the shortest distance from A to B, together with direction as it is a vector
  • mean speed
    total distance travelled over total time taken
  • instantaneous speed
    rate of change of distance
  • mean acceleration
    change in velocity over time taken
  • instantaneous velocity
    rate of change of displacement
  • instantaneous acceleration
    rate of change of velocity
  • displacement time graph
    gradient is velocity
  • velocity time graphs
    gradient =acceleration
    area underneath= displacement
  • kinetic equations

    V=U+AT
    X=0.5(U+V)T
    X=UT+0.5(ATT)
    V2=U2+2AX
  • mean velocity
    Totaldisplacement/totaltimetakenTotal displacement/ total time taken
