Linear Motion with Constant Acceleration
Effects of acceleration Object ’ s speed changes every second, therefore the distance covered each second is different When d vs. t is graphed for constant a, the result is a parabola
Equation #1 Time (s)Speed(m/s) Car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2 m/s 2 : Equation?
Equation #2 Car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2 m/s 2 : Time (s)Dist (m) Equation?
Equation #2- Final Form Car starts from 3 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s 2 : Time (s)Dist (m) Equation? Old d (m) Diff
Equation #3 Substitute into #2
