1. Linear Motion with Constant Acceleration

2. 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

3. Equation #1 Time (s)Speed(m/s) 00 12 24 36 48 Car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2 m/s 2 : Equation?

4. Equation #2 Car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2 m/s 2 : Time (s)Dist (m) 00 11 24 39 416 Equation?

5. Equation #2- Final Form Car starts from 3 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s 2 : Time (s)Dist (m) 00 14 210 318 428 Equation? Old d (m) 0 1 4 9 16 Diff 0 3 6 9 12

6. Equation #3 Substitute into #2
