Physics of Motion and Acceleration

This document contains information about kinematics concepts such as: 1) Constant velocity, uniformly accelerated motion, and free fall (constant acceleration) equations of motion. It provides the kinematic equations for displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. 2) Definitions and descriptions of terms used in kinematics problems such as velocity, acceleration, displacement, time, free fall, projectile motion under the influence of gravity. 3) Several example kinematics problems involving distance, velocity, acceleration, time, projectiles, and other related concepts are presented. Solutions require use of the appropriate kinematics equations.

Case 1 : Constant velocity

s = distance travelled
v = velocity
t = time

 
Case 2 : Uniformly Accelerating
Body
 
a = ( v f – vo ) / t

s = v ot + ½

vf2 = vo2 + 2as
Case 3 :
Free Falling Bodies
( Constant Acceleration )
 
g = ( v f – vo ) / t
h = v ot + ½
gt2
vf2 = vo2 +
2gh
Free Falling Bodies
 
Vo = initial velocity (always
positive)
Vf = final velocity (positive if the
same direction with as
V­1
g = 9.81 m/s2 if going down
g = - 9.81 m/s2 if going up
s = displacement from initial
point to final point
= it is positive if in the same
direction with V1
