Kinematics |
Mathematical description of motion |
|
|
Uniform Motion |
Motion along a straight line at constant, unvarying speed and direction with constant Velocity |
|
|
Speed |
Is how fast an object is going, independent of direction. Abs value of Velocity |
|
|
Average Velocity |
Delta position vector over delta time. In one-dimension, slope of the line. |
|
|
Uniform Motion Equation |
Sf=si+vs×delta t |
|
|
Instantaneous Velocity |
The instantaneous velocity at time t is the average velocity during a time interval delta t, centered on t, as delta t approaches 0. |
|
|
Vs (Instantaneous) |
Slope of the position-versus-time graph. The steeper the slope, the larger the magnitude of the velocity. |
|
|
Turning point |
Is a point where the velocity is instantaneously 0 while the position is a max or a min |
|
|
Acceleration |
Rate of change of velocity |
|
|
a average |
Slope of the velocity-versus-time graph |
