Instantaneous Velocity vs. Time
Constant Acceleration
“Area” under a vs. t graph between times t 1 and t 2 is Δv
Constant Acceleration
Constant Acceleration: Velocity vs. Time
Also,
Constant Acceleration: Velocity vs. Time
“Area” Under Velocity vs. Time Graph
“Area” under v vs. t graph between times t 1 and t 2 is Δx, displacement occurring in time Δt:
“Area” Under Velocity vs. Time Graph “Area” under v vs. t graph between times t 1 and t 2 is Δx, displacement occurring in time Δt:
Calculate “Area” Under v vs. t Graph Integrate:or …
Calculate “Area” Under v vs. t Graph Integrate:or … Δx = A 1 + A 2, the sum of the “area” of a triangle (A 1 ) and that of a rectangle (A 2 )
Calculate “Area” Under v vs. t Graph
Constant Acceleration in 1-D Position coordinate: Instantaneous velocity: For Position coordinate: Instantaneous velocity: Which pair of constant acceleration equations is used depends upon situation. Additional pair of related equations will be discussed next week.
