#1
Front (Question)

Scaler quantities

Back (Answer)

physical quantities that have magnitude only such as time,mass and charge Scalar quantities can just be added or subtracted

#2
Front (Question)

Vector quantities

Back (Answer)

Physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction such as force and wait vector quantities can just be idle subtracted but they need to be added or subtracted algebraically as they have a direction

#3
Front (Question)

Negative vectors and scalars

Back (Answer)

Negative factors have the same magnitude as a positive vector a travel in the opposite direction negative scalars have a much smaller magnitude

#4
Front (Question)

Resultant

Back (Answer)

They combined effort of a number of vectors the resultant is the vector quantity that has the same effect as two or more vector quantities

#5
Front (Question)

motion

Back (Answer)

Change in position of the body with respect to time

#6
Front (Question)

Frames of reference

Back (Answer)

A set of reference points such as the set of access that enables the position of an object to be defined at any time

#7
Front (Question)

Position

Back (Answer)

Plotted relative to a reference point or Arjun it is Vector quantity

#8
Front (Question)

One dimensional motion

Back (Answer)

Motion along a straight line and can be either in One Direction or the opposite direction

#9
Front (Question)

Distance

Back (Answer)

The length of the path that an object moves along from one position to another it is the scaler quantity and is represented D ,it is measured in metres

#10
Front (Question)

Displacement

Back (Answer)

Change in position it is the magnitude and direction of a straight line drawn from the initial to final point it is a vector quantity and is represented as delta X or delta Y is measured in metres in a certain direction

#11
Front (Question)

Calculating displacement

Back (Answer)

You don’t displacement equals X final minus X initial so Delta X= Xf-Xi

#12
Front (Question)

Average speed

Back (Answer)

Total distance travelled divided by the total time the constant speed message through for a car to travel the distance in a certain time

#13
Front (Question)

Average speed formula

Back (Answer)

Average speed = distance/time it is measured in metres per second it is Scalar quantity and has magnitude only it is the quotient of two scalars

#14
Front (Question)

Average velocity

Back (Answer)

You displacement or change in position divided by the total time taken the last has both magnitude and direction

#15
Front (Question)

Average velocity formula

Back (Answer)

V=delta X/ delta t It is measured in metres per second in a direction

#16
Front (Question)

Conversion kilometres per hour to metres per second

Back (Answer)

Divide by 3, 6

#17
Front (Question)

Average acceleration

Back (Answer)

Change in velocity divided by time taken

#18
Front (Question)

Average acceleration formula

Back (Answer)

A = delta V/delta t It is measured in metres per second squared in a direction as it is a vector quantity

#19
Front (Question)

Positive and negative acceleration

Back (Answer)

In one dimensional motion positive and negative in opposite directions positive exhilaration is what we commonly term acceleration and negative acceleration is what we term deceleration

#20
Front (Question)

Formula for calculating gradient

Back (Answer)

Delta Y/Delta X

#21
Front (Question)

Instantaneous velocity

Back (Answer)

Displacement divided by an infantismal time interval is a vector quantity the gradient of a tangent of a point on a position time graph formula is V equals delta X/Delta T it is measured in metres per second in a direction

#22
Front (Question)

Instantaneous speed

Back (Answer)

Same as the magnitude of instantaneous velocity

#23
Front (Question)

Physical quantity

Back (Answer)

Measurable property of something we find in nature

#24
Front (Question)

Displacement time graphs or delta X-T graphs

Back (Answer)

Stationery so V=zero is a straight horizontal line Constant velocity forwards is a straight line up to the right hand corner Constant velocity backwards is a straight line down from the left-hand corner Increasing velocity so positive acceleration is a curved graph from nought up to the right hand corner Decreasing velocity so negative acceleration is a curve graph from nought up to right hand corner so that looks like a sun Gradient = velocity
