Linear Motion
 

2.1  Linear Motion

  Distance, d  

  Total length of path an object travels from one point to another.  

     

  Displacement,s  

  The shortest distance between two points.  

     

  Formulas for distance, speed & acceleration  

     

d
v= , where  v = speed, ms−1
​

t
  d = distance, m  
t = time, s

     
s
v = , where v = velocity, ms−1
​

t
  d = displacement, m  
t = time, s

     

v−u −2
a= , where a = acceleration, ms
​

t
u = initial velocity, ms− 1
   
v = final velocity, ms− 1
t = time, s

     

1
  s = ut + at2 → use this formula when there is no v given  
2
​

     

 
v = u + at → use this formula when there is no s given  

     

 
v 2 = u2 + 2as → use this formula when there is no t given  

     

1
 
s= (u + v)t → use this formula when there is no a given

the distance between dots small the distance between dots greater
slow and constant speed high and constant speed
acceleration = 0 acceleration = 0

distance between dots increase distance between dots decrease

velocity increases velocity decreases
acceleration = +ve acceleration = -ve
