Variable Acceleration - 1D (AQA A-Level Mathematics): Flashcards

Distance from origin where direction matters

Rate of change of displacement; direction matters

Rate of change of distance; direction doesn't matter

$v = \frac{ds}{dt}$

$a = \frac{dv}{dt}$ or $\frac{d^2s}{dt^2}$

When $v = 0$

When $v = 0$ or $\frac{ds}{dt} = 0$

When $a = 0$ or $\frac{dv}{dt} = 0$

Displacement $s$ (plus constant)

Stationary (no speed)
