Movement of a body in a straight (or curved) line, all parts move the same distance in the same direction.
linear motion
1 of 9
A force applied through the centre of mass.
direct force
2 of 9
The point at which a body is balanced in all directions. Weight appears to act.
centre of mass
3 of 9
Length covered from start to finish (m).
distance
4 of 9
Shortest straight-line route from start to finish (m).
displacement
5 of 9
Calculated using distance/time taken. Measured in m/s.
speed
6 of 9
Calculated by using displacement/time taken.Measured in m/s.
velocity
7 of 9
Calculated by using (final velocity-initial velocity)/time taken. Measured in m/s/s.
acceleration
8 of 9
