===EquationEquations===
====Acceleration, Velocity and time====
''NB: You must remember this equation.''
This equation applies to [[linear]] [[acceleration]] but not to a change in direction.
 
'' '''acceleration''' = (Change in Velocity)/(Time)''
<math>a = {\frac{\Delta v}{t}} </math>
<math>a</math> = [[Acceleration]] of the [[object]].
<math>\Delta v</math> = Change in [[magnitude]] of the [[velocity]].: The difference between Final Velocity (v) and Initial Velocity (u) (v-u)
<math>t</math>= [[Time]] taken for the change in [[velocity]].
 
====Acceleration, Mass and Force====
''NB: You must remember this equation.''
 
<math>a = {\frac{F}{m}} </math>
 
Where:
 
Force = Mass x Acceleration
 
<math>F=ma</math>
 
Where:
 
<math>F</math> = The [[Resultant Force]] on the [[object]].
 
<math>m</math> = The [[mass]] of the [[object]].
 
<math>a</math> = The [[acceleration]] of the [[object]].
