Kinematics

By the end of this unit, students will:

  • Understand the general relationships among position, velocity, and acceleration for the motion of a particle along a straight line.

  • Understand the special case of motion with constant acceleration.

  • Understand the relationship among words, equations and graphs for motion in on dimension.

Kinematics Eq. 1

Vf = Vi + at

Kinematics Eq. 2

x = Vi*t + at^2

Kinematics Eq. 3

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ax
