Velocity Change in position with respect to time v = Δd/Δt Which can be written as: (dfinal-dinitial)/(tfinal-tinitial) Common notation: (df–di)/(tf–ti) Acceleration Change in velocity with respect to time a = Δv/Δt Which can be written as: (vfinal-vinitial)/(tfinal-tinitial) Common notation : (vf–vi)/(tf–ti) Definitions
Velocity to Acceleration • v=Δd/Δt=(dfinal–dinitial)/(tfinal–tinitial) • a=Δv/Δt=(vfinal–vinitial)/(tfinal–tinitial)
Average Acceleration • a =Δv/Δt=(vfinal–vinitial)/(tfinal–tinitial) • f= final • i = initial • If tinitial = 0 • a = (vfinal – vinitial)/tfinal • Or: • vf = vi +atf
Practice Problem • A soccer player is running at a constant velocity of 50.0km/h (31mph). The player falls and skids to a halt in 4.0 seconds. • What is the average acceleration of the player during the skid? • What is the plot of the velocity vs. time?
Practice Problem • A water balloon in the sling of a water balloon launcher undergoes a constant acceleration 25m/s^2 for 1.5s. • What is the velocity of the water balloon right after launch?
Practice Problem • A car accelerates from rest at 5 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It moves with a constant velocity for some time, and then decelerates at 5 m/s2 to come to rest. The entire journey takes 25 seconds. Plot the velocity-time graph of the motion.
Practice Problem Determine the accelerations for a1, a2, a3, and a4 for each time interval. a1= 4/5 a2= (4-4)/(10-5) a3= (16-4)/(20-10) a4= (0-16)/(30-20)

Velocity with Constant Acceleration • Equation to remember: • vf^2 = vi^2 +2a(df-di)
Position with Average Acceleration • Δd/Δt = Δv + ½ a Δt • Δd = ΔvΔt + ½ a Δt^2 • When ti = 0: • df - di = vitf + ½ atf^2
Position with Average Acceleration • Equation to remember: • Final position = initial position + (change in velocity)*time + ½ (acceleration)*(time squared) • df = di + (vf-vi)t + ½ at^2
