Think back to GCSE 1.Write down the definition of velocity Speed in a given direction 2.Write down the calculation for velocity But that is how you calculate speed, which you just said is different to velocity
6
Distance (x) Displacement (s)
7
Velocity (v) = Displacement (s) Time (t) Speed (v) = Distance (x) Time (t) Scalar Vector Magnitude Direction Magnitude
8
s [m] t [s] Gradient = dy/dx = s/t = v
9
s [m] t [s] v [m/s] t [s]
10
+ve direction Consider the motion of a projectile (negligible air resistance)
11
v [m/s] t [s] If the acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 ms -2
