Kinematic Notes

Displacement:
-(Motion) A change in an objects Position
-(X Versus Time) (Y Versus Time)
-Can Be any direction Start to finish
-(Use Meters not Feet)
-Don’t get distance and displacement mixed up
Initial-Final Position/Displacement

Velocity:
-Average Velocity: The displacement of an object divided by the time interval over which that
displacement occurred
-Velocity=DIsplacement/Time (This equation only works for motion undergoing a constate state
of acceleration. / Units: m/s /

initial/finale

Average Velocity From Graph:

-Most generic graph is position vs it’s time
-Changes constant rate
- Slope:Rise/Run (Rise is Change in Position) (Run is change in time)

-Use Slope to find velocity

- Average velocity between any two points in time is always slope of position vs. time graph. In
this case the object is changing its instantaneous speed.
-(Slope of Position Vs Time)

Instantaneous Velocity and speed:

-How fast the velocity of a certain instant
-Tangent Lines!!!!!
--Higher slope Higher speed

Average Acceleration:
-Change in an object's velocity divided by the time interval, over which the change occured.
-​(Average)
-When velocity changes it accelerates.

-
. Graph Acceleration:
-Expodental Growth Because of speed
-Like a Parabola
-Quadratic Function

-Velocity versus Time

-Meters per second per second

-
-Showing same motion between the two
-Constantly accelerating rate
Acceleration Due to Gravity:
-Force!!
-Can use it to measure and accelerate (mass)(Gravitational Pulls)
-Acceleration stays constant while also obtaining more speed while falling
-Exponentially increases position every second.

-Velocity versus time graph slope is always the same

-Generics for terms

-Add in other forces at some point

Questions:
-I don’t get the meters per second personhood very well.
