Mechanics

Motion

 * Average velocity
 * v = s/t
 * Where s is the change in position and t is the change in time
 * Acceleration - Rate of change of velocity
 * a = v/t
 * v = u+at
 * where u is the initial velocity
 * Displacement = Change in Position
 * Distance = length of path followed
 * Instantaneous velocity - velocity at an instant of time
 * Average speed = distance/time
 * Average velocity = displacement/time
 * Graph Characteristics-
 * For constant acceleration -
 * v = u+at
 * Δs = ut+(1/2)at2
 * Δs = (1/2)(u+v)t
 * v2 = u2+2aΔs
