Constant speed / Constant velocity Physics Phrases Phrase Meaning Where / How far d = ? When / How long t = ? How fast v = ? Starts at rest vi = 0m/s Comes to rest / Stops vf = 0m/s Slows down / Brakes a = (negative value) Constant speed / Constant velocity a = 0m/s2
Example #1 If a new concept car can accelerate at a rate of 12m/s2, (a) how long will it take to reach a top speed of 48m/s if it starts from rest? (b) How far did the car travel within this time? (a) (b)
Example #2 While driving on the highway, a deer suddenly jumps in front of your car. You slam on the brakes and decelerate at 20m/s2. After coming to rest, the deer frolics away unscathed. You look in the rearview mirror and notice a skid mark on the road that is approximately 33m long; how fast were you going before Bambi decided to be a jerk?
