1. AVERAGE VELOCITY: V = d/t V = (Vi + Vf)/2

2. Final Velocity: Vf = Vi + at Changing A= Δv/t gives you:
On reference table

3. FINDING VALUES WITHOUT TIME:
Ex: A car traveling at 14m/s brakes until it has a velocity of 10 m/s. If it traveled 30m, what is the cars acceleration? (10m/s)2= (14m/s)2 +2 (A)(30m) 100 = A - 96 = 60A A= -1.6 m/s2
Vf2 = Vi2 + 2ad

4. DISPLACEMENT FORMULA:
d = Vit + 1/2at2
Ex: A car traveling with a velocity of 10m/s accelerates at a rate of 3m/s2 for 5.0 seconds. How far does it travel ?
d= 10m/s(5sec) + ½ (3m/s2)(5sec)2
d= 50m + ½(75m)
d= 50m m
d= 87.5m

5. SOLVING PROBLEMS Carefully read problem List and label information
Determine which formula
to use
Plug in values
Calculate
Write the answer with units

6. Dimensional Analysis: Showing units on both sides of a formula are consistent
Vf = Vi + A(t) m/s = m/s + m/s2(s) m/s = m/s + m/s (correct)
d= V/(2A)
m = (m/s)/(m/s2 )
m = (m/s)(s2/m)
m ≠ s
(bad formula)
