GENERAL PHYSICS 1

Check the assignment!

1. What is the velocity of the dog as it travels
from its starting point to its final position?

2. Calculate the acceleration of a car if it

changes velocity from 20m/s to 0m/s in 20
seconds.
Recall the quantities describing motion as well
as their mathematical definition!

How do we express the average velocity?

Derivation of the other Kinematics equations:

1. Express the definition of velocity in terms of displacement

2. Replace the velocity by the expression of average velocity.
3. Manipulate the definition of acceleration and express the left side
with the final velocity.
4. Use the resulting expression of final velocity in replacing the final
velocity in the displacement expression then simplify the resulting
expression
•Derivation
  of the other Kinematics equations:
1. Using replace with the expression of average
velocity and manipulate the definition of
acceleration with t on the left side of the
equation then substitute. Simplify the resulting
expression.

Let’s analyze this!

A uniformly accelerated car takes 5.0s to cover

250m and another 3.0s to cover the next 250m.
Find the acceleration of the car.
 When was the last time that the driver of the vehicle
you are riding had to make a sharp brake to avoid
colliding with the car in front?
 When was the last time that a vehicle is closely
behind the car you are riding?
- Chances are you have or have been TAILGATED.
TAILGATING is the practice of driving too closely
behind another vehicle. This practice puts the drivers
as well as the passengers at risk on the road.
What must be observed by the drivers in order to be
safe?

LET’S SUM UP!

OYO time!

In continuation with the illustrated problem above,

how many seconds will it take the car to cover the
next 250m?
