One Dimensional Motion
Distance How far something has moved
Distance Scalar quantity
Displacement How far something is from its starting position
Displacement A vector quantity
Time The interval between two occurrences
Uniform Motion Equal displacement occurs during successive equal time intervals
Uniform Motion Velocity is constant during uniform motion
Distance vs Time Graph
Slope Slope = rise/run Slope = y/ x
Slope On a distance vs time graph: Slope = d/ t
Slope Slope = d/ t Slope = velocity
Average Velocity v = d/ t v = d 1 – d 0 t 1 – t 0
Displacement d 1 = d 0 + vt 1 d = d 0 + vt
Distance vs Time Graph
Acceleration a = v/ t a = v 1 - v 0 t 1 - t 0
Velocity v = v 0 + at v f = v i + at
Displacement d = d 0 + v 0 t + ½ at 2
Displacement d f = d i + v i t + ½ at 2
v 2 = v a(d 1 – d 0 ) v 2 = v ad
v f 2 = v i 2 + 2ad
v = v 0 + at d = d 0 + v 0 t + ½ at 2 v 2 = v ad
v = v 0 + at v f = v i + at
d = d 0 + v 0 t + ½ at 2 d f = d i + v i t + ½ at 2
d f = d i + v i t + ½ at 2 d = v i t + ½ at 2
v 2 = v ad v f 2 = v i 2 + 2ad
f f = v i + at d = v i t + ½ at 2 v f 2 = v i 2 + 2ad
