  1. Instantaneous Velocity

    The everyday concept of velocity arises when we consider how quick or slow a body is moving. Somehow we relate the displacement of the body with the time invested in it. In this section, we are going to specify what is physical velocity, also known as ins ...

  2. Average Speed

    The everyday concept of speed arises when we consider how quick or slow a body moves. Somehow we relate the displacement of the body with the time spent in such displacement. In this section, we are going to define what is meant in physics by average spee ...

  3. Instantaneous Speed

    The everyday concept of velocity arises when we consider how quick or slow a body moves. Somehow we relate the displacement of the body with the time spent in such displacement. In this section, we will define what is meant in physics by Instantaneous spe ...

  4. Concept of Acceleration

    While studying the behavior of a body in motion, we usually encounter that it does not maintain a constant velocity. The fact that a body can increase the magnitude of its velocity (also known as speed) while in motion, is what is normally known as accele ...

  5. Average Acceleration

    In physics, we say that a body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this section, we are going to study the concept of average acceleration, which represent the variation in velocity that, on ...

  6. Instantaneous Acceleration

    In physics, we say that a body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction, which we already saw in the section dedicated to the concept of acceleration. In this section, we are going to study the insta ...

  7. Intrinsic Components of Acceleration

    In physics, we say that a body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In previous sections, we have seen that if this change occurs during an interval of time it refers to the average acceleration ...

  8. Tangential Acceleration

    In physics, we say that a body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In previous sections, we have seen that acceleration can be classified, according to the effect that it produces in the veloci ...

  9. Normal or Centripetal Acceleration

    In physics, we say that a body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In previous sections, we have seen that acceleration can be classified, according to the effect that it produces in the veloci ...

  10. Types of Motions According to the Acceleration

    In physics, we say that a body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In previous sections, we have seen that acceleration can be broken down according to the effect that it produces in the veloci ...
