Mechanics: Forces and Motion BASICS

For Year 11 students trying to memorise/learn basic terms for forces and motion (New Zealand)

AB
stationarynot moving at all
constant speedtype of motion with no acceleration
constant accelerationincreasing speed smoothly over time
constant decelerationdecreasing speed smoothly over time
distance time graphtype of graph that can show motion
velocity time graphtype of graph that can show motion
start and end timeswhat we should state for a section of a graph
a sectionwhat we call a part of a graph (one shape)
