Kinematics

State the difference between distance and displacement.

A
  • Distance: scalar, total path length travelled
  • Displacement: vector, change in position in a stated direction
B
  • Distance: scalar, total path length travelled
  • Displacement: scalar, change in position without direction
C
  • Distance: vector, change in position in a stated direction
  • Displacement: scalar, total path length travelled
D
  • Distance: scalar, straight-line change in position
  • Displacement: vector, total path length travelled

Flashcards for Eduqas A Level Physics Kinematics, covering the key terms, definitions and equations you need to recall for Component 1, Component 2 and Component 3. 20 cards, matched to the Eduqas A Level Physics (A420QS) specification. Recall questions account for roughly 30% of marks at A Level Physics, so these target the marks you can secure before the paper starts.
