1D Kinematics & Free Fall

Front

What is 1D Kinematics?

Back

1D Kinematics is the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of objects along a straight line, focusing on concepts such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time.

Front

Define velocity.

Back

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, and it includes both speed and direction. It is a vector quantity.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down) and is measured in m/s².

Front

What is the formula for average acceleration?

Back

Front

What does a negative velocity indicate?

Back

A negative velocity indicates that an object is moving in the opposite direction to the defined positive direction.

Front

What is the significance of 0 m/s² acceleration?

Back

An acceleration of 0 m/s² means that the object is moving at a constant velocity and is not changing its speed or direction.

Front

What is the equation for final velocity in terms of initial velocity, acceleration, and time?

Back

Front

What is the equation to find displacement when acceleration is constant?

Back

Front

What does a Position vs. Time graph look like for an object with constant acceleration?

Back

The graph is a parabolic curve, indicating that the object's position changes non-linearly over time.

What is the formula to find final velocity when distance and acceleration are known?
