speed and velocity by Mind Map: speed and velocity

1. speed

1.1. definition

1.1.1. rate of change of motion

1.2. formula

1.2.1. distance covered / time taken to cover the distance

1.2.2. v= S/t

1.2.3. SI unit

1.2.3.1. m/s

1.3. kinds of speed

1.3.1. uniform

1.3.1.1. when a body covers EQUAL distances

1.3.1.2. in EQUAL intervals of time

1.3.2. non- uniform or variable

1.3.2.1. when a body covers UNEQUAL distances

1.3.2.2. in EQUAL intervals of time

1.4. average speed

1.4.1. when a body is moving with a variable speed

1.4.1.1. the average distance covered by this body

1.4.1.2. per unit time

1.4.2. formula

1.4.2.1. total distance covered / total time taken to cover the distance

1.4.2.2. v= S/t

2. velocity

2.1. definition

2.1.1. the rate of change of motion

2.1.2. in a specified direction

2.2. unit

2.3. kinds of velocty

2.3.1. uniform velocity

2.3.1.1. definition

2.3.1.1.1. when a body covers EQUAL distances

2.3.1.1.2. in EQUAL intervals of time

2.3.1.1.3. in a SPECIFIED direction

2.3.1.2. conditions

2.3.1.2.1. it covers EQUAL distances

2.3.1.2.2. direction REMAINS the same

2.3.2. non- uniform
