Physics - Kinematics
Kinematics definitions, equations, lab info, and calculations.
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Vector | Have magnitude and direction; velocity, acceleration, force, displacement |
Scalar | Have magnitude; speed, time, distance, area, temperature, volume, mass, voltage, density, pressure, wavelength |
Distance eq(x2) | d=1/2(a)(t^2)+vi(t) d=(vf^2-vi^2)/(2a) |
Acceleration eq | a=(vf-vi)/(t) |
Kinematics def | The study of straight line moticon |
Extrapolation def | extending the graph beyond it's data points |
Interpolation def | reading values between the graph's data points |
Motion def | a change in position |
Speed def | how fast you change position |
Velocity def | how fast you change your position in a certain direction |
Instaneous Speed def | final speed at endpoint |
Acceleration | how fast you change your velocity |
Average velocity eq | v= (vi+vf)/2 |
Acceleration eq | a=(vf-vi)/t |
Velocity eq | v=d/t |
Three ways to Accelerate | Faster; Slower; Change direction |
G= ? | g= 9.8 m/s/s |
