Kinematics

Front

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 displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, along with the direction.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, expressed as a scalar quantity.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the displacement of an object per unit of time, expressed as a vector quantity.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

Front

What is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion occurs when an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is non-uniform motion?

Back

Non-uniform motion occurs when an object travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time.

Front

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A flat line on a distance-time graph represents no motion.

Front

What does a straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph represents constant velocity.
