Linear Kinematics Equations

Question 1

Linear Velocity

Answer 1

• The rate of change in location

- Displacement/time

Question 2

Speed

Answer 2

• A scalar quantity, defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken to cover it.
• Distance/time

Question 3

Linear Acceleration

Answer 3

• The rate of change in linear velocity

- Change in speed/time

Question 4

Equations of Constant Acceleration

Answer 4

• v2 = v1 + at
• d = v1t + (1/2)at^2
• v2^2 = v1^2 + 2ad
