UAPM - Langerphysics
Universally accelerated particle model
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | Basic: Change in motion Advance: Change in velocity with respect to time |
| deceleration | slow down |
| instantaneous velocity | velocity at a specific moment of time |
| [m/s2] | meters per second (squared) - units of acceleration |
| Equation for acceleration | a = (Vf-Vi)/t |
| Equation for velocity | v = x/t |
| Slope of x-t graph | Velocity |
| Slope of v-t graph | acceleration |
| Scalar | quantity like mass, distance, speed, |
| vector | quantity like displacement, velocity, acceleration, force |
| acceleration due to gravity | 9.8 m/s2..... for quick math use 10 m/s2 |
| free fall | ignoring air resistance when falling due to gravity |
