I have no idea if this is the right forum but I am doing the kinematics chapter in 2204 and I was wondering if anyone had the bassic forumlas for motion.

The formula for speed is speed = distance / time. This means that to calculate speed, you need to divide the distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance.
The formula for acceleration is acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. This means that to calculate acceleration, you need to subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and then divide by the time it took to change velocities.
Velocity and speed are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings in physics. Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a measure of how fast an object is moving in a specific direction.
The formula for displacement is displacement = final position - initial position. This means that to calculate displacement, you need to subtract the initial position of an object from its final position.
The equation for calculating time is time = distance / speed. This means that if you know the distance an object has traveled and its speed, you can calculate how long it took to travel that distance.
