What is the equation for speed?
Speed = distance/time S = d/t
What is the equation for velocity?
Velocity = displacement/timev = s/t
What is the equation for displacement?
S = square root A2 + B2
What is the equation for finding the angle?
Theta = tan-1 ( a/b )
What is the equation for force?
Force = mass x acceleration F = ma
What is newton's first law?
An object will remain constant unless acted on by an unbalanced force
What is newton's second law?
Answer 7
The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables-the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. F= ma
What is newton's third law?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Definition of distance?
Describes the total length of the pathway taken between the origin and the destination point. Is a scalar quantity
Definition of displacement?
A vector quantity representing the location of the destination relative to the origin of the motion only, irrespective of the path actually negotiated between the two points.
