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 |
