Kinematics Checklist

Question	Answer
Displacement	Vector quantity that is the objects overall change in position
Distance	Scalar quantity that refers to have much ground is covered during the course of the objects motion
Speed	Scalar quantity and the rate that an object covers distance
Velocity	Vector quantity and the rate at which position changes
Acceleration	Vector quantity and rate of change of velocity of an object
Linear Acceleration Equation	v = at
Linear Motion	d = vt
Average Velocity (For motion in a straight line)	\(v_{av}\) = \(\frac{distance}{time}\)
Calculating distance when the acceleration is constant	d = \(v_{i}\) t + \(\frac{1}{2}\) a \(t^2\)
The relationship between horizontal and vertical motion	They're independent
Calculating final velocity	\(v_{f}\) = \(v_{i}\) + at
