Grade 11 Physics
Kinematics
Kinematics is all about motion. Motion is a change in position relative to a frame of reference
Vocabulary
scalar vs vector distance vs displacement speed vs velocity frame of reference acceleration
Vectors
Vectors can be manipulated in two ways, by trigonometry or on a Cartesian coordinate system
The four kinemetic equations
$$d = v_it + \frac{1}{2}at^2$$ $$v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad$$ $$v_f = v_i + at$$ $$d = \frac{v_i + v_f}{2}t$$
