1. Warm Up
Josh’s class is 95 m away. If he runs at 1.2 m/s, how long will it take him?
If the bell is going to ring in 120 seconds, will he make it on time?
If Josh runs the first 50 m at 1.2 m/s, then slows to 0.9 m/s for the remaining 45 m, will he make it in 120 seconds?

2. What are kinematic equations?
“Kine-” = motion
Kinesiology: the science of Human movement
Kinesthesiology: Medical study of the movement of muscles
Kinematics: the study of motion and movement
Set of 4 equations that give us a fuller picture of an object’s motion because they connect distance, velocity, acceleration, and time
Can be used to predict unknown information about an object’s motion

3. When do we use the kinematic equations?
The kinematic equations are used in situations of CONSTANT or UNIFORM acceleration

4. How do we use the kinematic equations?
This is where the GUESS method will become your best friend…

5. WHAT ARE THEY?? d = vit + ½ at2 vf = vi + at d = (vi + vf) 2 t
Displacement = d
Initial velocity = vi or vo
Final velocity = vf
Time = t
Acceleration = a
vf = vi + at
d = (vi + vf) 2 t
vf2 = vi2 + 2ad

6. Picking the Right Equation:
Ima Hurryin is approaching a stoplight moving with a velocity of m/s. The light turns yellow, and Ima applies the brakes and skids to a stop. If Ima's acceleration is m/s2, then determine the displacement of the car during the skidding process.

7. All Together:
Ben Rushin is waiting at a stoplight. When it finally turns green, Ben accelerated from rest at a rate of a 6.00 m/s2 for a time of 4.10 seconds. Determine the displacement of Ben's car during this time period.

8. Exit Question
A feather is dropped on the moon from a height of 1.40 m. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.67m/s2. Determine the time for feather fall to the surface of the moon.
