What is Kinematics?

Back

Kinematics is the branch of physics that describes the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

Define acceleration.

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What does a constant velocity indicate about an object's motion?

Back

Constant velocity indicates that an object is moving at a steady speed in a straight line without changing direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (Final Velocity (v) - Initial Velocity (u)) / Time (t)
