The Kinematics Equations (1D Equations of Motion) Unit 2 Class Notes The Kinematics Equations (1D Equations of Motion) Accelerated Physics
Day #1 Introduction to the Equation of Motion
ACCELERATION
Leonardo
Michaelangelo
Raphael
Donatello
Derivations of the equations (a.k.a. where the turtles come from)
Raphael …. slope of the line =
…. area under curve = Donatello
What about Leonardo and Michelangelo?
Fighting with the turtles
Example #1 Jimmy is at rest in his corvette. Suddenly he hits the gas and accelerates at a constant rate of 4 m/s2. What will his velocity be after 5 seconds? forward
Example #2a A plane is moving at a speed of 50 mph when it lands on a runway. Accelerating uniformly, it comes to a stop after covering a quarter mile. How long did it take to stop? What was its acceleration?
Example #2b A plane is moving at a speed of 50 mph when it lands on a runway. Accelerating uniformly, it comes to a stop after covering a quarter mile. How long did it take to stop? What was its acceleration?
Example #3 A race car travelling at 60 mph accelerates uniformly to a speed of 90 mph, covering 50 meters in the process. What was the car’s acceleration?
