KINEMATICS – Motion with constant acceleration
Level 1 Physics
Objectives and Essential Questions
Objectives Define and apply
definitions of displacement, avg. velocity, instantaneous velocity, and average acceleration
Demonstrate proficiency in problem solving using kinematic equations including problems involving free-fall
Analyze motion of graphs qualitatively and quantitatively.
Essential Questions What is displacement?
How does it differ from distance?
How is displacement affected by time, velocity, and acceleration?
How is scientific data displayed?
SYMBOLS
x, y Displacement
t Time
vo Initial velocity
v Finial velocity
a Acceleration
g Acceleration due to gravity
Equation #1
€
a =Δv
Δt=v − vot
= v − vo = at
€
v = vo − at
EXAMPLE #1A speedboat has a constant acceleration of +2.0 m/s2. If the initial velocity of the boat is 6.0 m/s, how fast is the boat moving after 8 seconds?
What do Iknow?
What do I need?
vo = 6 m/s v = ?
a = +2.0 m/s2
t = 8 sec
€
v = vo +at
v = 6 ms( ) + +2.0 ms2( ) 8sec( )[ ]
v = 22m

b. Find the displacement of the boat after the 8 second.
€
x = vot +1

Equation/Example #3
€
v2 = vo2 + 2ax
Example: You are driving through town at 12 m/s when suddenly a ball rollsout in front of your car. You apply the brakes and begin decelerating at 3.5 m/s2.
What do I know?
What do I want?
vo = 12 m/s x = ?
a = - 3.5 m/s2
v = 0 m/s
How far do you travel before coming to a complete stop?
€
v2 = vo2 + 2ax
x =v2 − vo

x = 20.57m
Confusion??How do I know what equation to use and what variable do I need to solve for?
Equation Missing quantity

€
v = vo + at
€
x = vo t +12 at

€
v2 = vo2 + 2ax
VERTICAL KinematicsAll of the 3 previous equations can be applied to the verticaldirection simply by adding a few changes.
€
v = vo + at vy = voy − gt
x = vot +12 at
2 y = voyt −12 gt
2
v 2 = vo2 + 2aΔx vy
2 = voy2 − 2gΔy
Notice: Since g has a value of 9.8 m/s2 and is directed downward, the positivesign has been replaced with a negative sign.
