speed = | distance / time |
units of speed | m/s |
units of time | secs |
units of distance | m |
average | mean |
distance = | speed x time |
time = | distance/ speed |
horizontal force | friction |
speed up | accelerate |
slow down | decelerate |
acceleration is dependant on | force and mass |
bodies adapted to swimming | streamlined |
when resistance slows something down | drag |
bodies adapted to flight | aerodynamic |
when forces are balanced preventing any further acceleration | terminal velocity |
