## Physics Module 2: Dynamics

Force A force can be thought of as a push or a pull A force that acts by being directly in contact with an object is known as a contact force

## Science: Speed, Velocity and Acceleration

Average Speed: distance travelled per unit of time (m/s) Velocity: displacement per unit of time (m/s) Average Speed is SCALAR, while velocity is a VECTOR Distance-Speed-Time Triangles Usage: Average Speed $$=$$ Distance $$\div$$ Time Distance $$=$$ Average Speed $$\times$$ Time Time $$=$$ Distance $$\div$$ Average Speed Acceleration Acceleration is the rate at which an object’s velocity CHANGES Acceleration is measured in $$m/s^2$$ (metres per second squared) Acceleration can be found by dividing the applied force by the mass of the object $$a = F/m$$ Acceleration is a VECTOR quantity.

## Science: Distance and Displacement

Distance: the measurement of the length between two points Displacement: the CHANGE in an object’s position (straight line between start and end points) NOTE: An object can travel a large distance and still have zero displacement Distance is SCALAR (e.
