Distance
Total length of the path covered from start to finish. From A to B. The calculation is to measure the distance and the units are metres.
Displacement
The shortest straight line route from start to finish. Change in geographical position. Measured in metres.
Linear Motion
The movement of a body in a curved or straight line where all parts of the body move the same distance in the same direction over the same time. Eg. Luge
-
Acceleration
The rate of change in velocity. Calculation : (change in velocity is calculated by final velocity - initial velocity). Measured in m/s/s
Deceleration
The negative rate of change in velocity. Eg when a skier applies edges of skis into snow to slow down. Measured in m/s/s
