Speed & Velocity

Speed = distance travelled per unit time; a scalar quantity (magnitude only).
Equation: v = \frac{s}{t} where v in m/s, s in m, t in s.
Average speed = total distance / total time; used when speed varies.
Velocity = speed in a given direction; a vector quantity.
Velocity uses displacement (vector) instead of distance.
Positive/negative signs indicate direction (e.g., +20 m/s east, −20 m/s west).

Acceleration

Acceleration = rate of change of velocity; unit m/s².
Equation: a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} where \Delta v = v - u.
Positive acceleration = speeding up; negative acceleration = deceleration (slowing down).
Average acceleration useful when acceleration changes.

Positive and negative acceleration

Distance-Time Graphs

Gradient of a distance–time graph = speed.
Straight line = constant speed; horizontal line = stationary.
Steeper gradient = faster speed; curved line = changing speed (acceleration/deceleration).
To calculate speed: draw a large gradient triangle, find \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}.

Speed-Time Graphs

Gradient of a speed–time graph = acceleration.
Straight line = constant acceleration; horizontal line = constant speed (zero acceleration).
Positive gradient = acceleration; negative gradient = deceleration.
Area under a speed–time graph = distance travelled.
Calculate area by splitting into triangles and rectangles: A = \frac{1}{2}bh (triangle) or A = bh (rectangle).

Area under a speed-time graph

Calculating Acceleration from Speed-Time Graphs

For constant acceleration: gradient = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}.
For changing acceleration: draw a tangent at the point; gradient of tangent = instantaneous acceleration.
Use a large gradient triangle for accuracy.

Freefall

In absence of air resistance, all objects fall with same acceleration of freefall g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}².
Velocity increases by 9.8 m/s each second.
Weight W = mg where g is also gravitational field strength (N/kg).
