1 Worksheet (AS) Kinematics

1. The document contains a 15 question worksheet on kinematics concepts including speed, velocity, displacement, and acceleration. 2. Questions ask students to calculate speeds and velocities from graphs, determine scalar and vector quantities, and calculate average speeds from distance and time measurements. 3. Students are also asked to interpret graphs of displacement vs. time to determine an object's motion and calculate its velocity at different times.
