1 Velocity and Acceleration
Ch. 2 Pg

2 Objectives Use correct SI units to express acceleration.
Describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations for acceleration. Understand the relationship between acceleration, displacement, time, and velocity.

3 Motion with Constant Acceleration
Displacement depends on acceleration, initial velocity, and time Δx = ½ (vi + vf)Δt Displacement = ½ (initial velocity + final velocity)(time interval)

4 A racing car reaches a speed of 42 m/s
A racing car reaches a speed of 42 m/s. It then begins a uniform negative acceleration, using its parachute and braking system, and comes to rest 5.5 s later. Find how far the car moves while stopping.

5 A car enters the freeway with a speed of 8
A car enters the freeway with a speed of 8.4 m/s and accelerates uniformly for 3200 m in 3.0 min. How fast is the car moving after this time?
