Concepts Used to Model Motion (VCE SSCE Physics): Flashcards

Quantity with magnitude and direction

Quantity with magnitude only

Shortest straight-line distance between two points

Can only add vectors of the same type

Place vectors end-to-start; resultant from start to end

Force that prevents motion from starting

Force opposing ongoing sliding motion

$\cos \theta$

$\sin \theta$

$\Delta V = V_{\text{final}} - V_{\text{initial}}$
