AP Physics 1 - Kinematics
Position - ANSWhere an object is, in terms of a well-chosen origin.
Path Length - ANSHow far an object actually moves
Displacement - ANSAn object's change in position
Speed - ANSHow fast
Always positive
Velocity - ANSDisplacement over time
Acceleration - ANSChange in velocity / Time
Positive vs. Negative Velocity - ANSTells you the direction of travel
Positive Acceleration - ANSSpeeding up in positive direction
Slowing down in negative direction
Negative Acceleration - ANSSlowing down in positive direction
Speeding up in negative direction
Slope of Velocity vs. Time - ANSThis slope equals acceleration
Slope of Position vs. Time - ANSThis slope equals velocity
Area of Acceleration vs. Time - ANSThis area equals change in velocity
Area of Velocity vs. Time - ANSThis area equals change in position
Horizontal Variables - ANS
Horizontal Kinematic Equations - ANS
Vertical Variables - ANS
Vertical Kinematic Equations - ANS
Free Fall - ANSThe only force on an object is gravity
Acceleration due to Gravity - ANSOn Earth, -9.8 m/s2
