Translational motion
Question | Answer |
---|---|
for constant acceleration, distance = | x = x0 + v0*t + 1/2*a*t^2 |
for constant acceleration, velocity = | v = v0 + a*t |
for constant acceleration, velocity^2 = | v^2 = v0^2 + 2*a*x |
average velocity = | vavg = 1/2*(v+v0) |
x vs. t graph | slope = instantaneous velocity straight line = constant velocity curved line = changing velocity (acceleration) |
v vs. t graph | slope = instantaneous acceleration straight line = constant acceleration curved line = changing acceleration area beneath the curve = total displacement |
projectile motion | body projected by external force and continuing in motion by its own inertia |
peak height of projectile found by.. | v0*sin(theta) = sqrt(2*g*h) |
what dictates time of flight for projectile? | vertical velocity only |
air resistance | created when projectile collides with air molecules; increased with large surface area, smooth surfaces experience less, generally higher v means higher air resistance |
