Words and meanings to learn
velocity-time graph
a graph plotting velocity against time; the slope represents acceleration
acceleration
the rate of change of velocity per unit time; it describes how quickly an object's velocity changes and can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down)
SUVAT equations
a set of kinematic equations used to solve problems involving uniform acceleration
uniform motion
means an object’s velocity is changing at a constant rate over time
velocity
the speed of an object in a specific direction; it is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction
