Basic motion is the movement of an object in a straight line at a constant speed.
The main equations used in basic motion problems are the displacement equation (x = xo + v0t + ½at^2), the velocity equation (v = v0 + at), and the acceleration equation (a = Δv/Δt).
To solve a basic motion problem, you will need to identify the given variables, choose the appropriate equation, and plug in the values to solve for the unknown variable. It is important to keep track of units and use the correct equations for the given situation.
Speed is the rate at which an object is moving, while velocity is the rate at which an object is changing its position. Velocity takes into account the direction of the object's motion, while speed does not.
Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes. In basic motion, if there is no acceleration, the object will continue to move at a constant speed in a straight line. However, if there is acceleration, the object's velocity will change, causing its motion to be more complex.
