ACCELERATION
REACTIONARY FORCES
INERTIA
An object at rest will remain at rest or an
object in motion will remain in motion
unless acted upon by some outside
force.
Example: Riding in a car and then
suddenly apply the brakes; your body
continues to move forward.
ACCELERATION
Speed = Distance/Time
S=D/T
Acceleration=Velocity(final)-Velocity(initial)
Time
Momentum = Mass X Velocity
Force = Mass X Acceleration
Units of Motion
SPEED – m/s, mph, km/hr etc.
ACCELERATION – m/s² or km/hr/sec
Constant for acceleration due to GRAVITY.
g = 9.8 m/s²
MOMENTUM – kg x m/s
Sample Motion Problems
1. Calculate the speed of a runner that ran 55m
in 5.5sec. ___________________
2. What is the velocity of a car that traveled
150km N in 3hrs? __________
3. How fast does a Porsche accelerate from a
standstill in 10sec to a top speed of
120km/hr?_____________________
USE THE TRIANGLE TO WORK PROBLEMS!!!
