  1. Kinematics Equations Just what you have been waiting for…more math!

  2. Kinematics What are the four ways we can describe motion? • With words • With graphs • With diagrams • With equations

  3. Equations • Remember that the basis for all equations is some sort of graphed experimental data • The concept of slope = (rise/run) gives us the equations

  4. Variables • d = distance • Measured in meters (m) • v = velocity • Measured in meters/second (m/s) • a = acceleration • Measured in (meters/second)/second (m/s2) • t = time • Measured in seconds (s)

  5. Kinematics Equations

  6. Problem Solving Tips • Draw a picture of what is happening • Underline important information in the problem • Make a list of known variables • Make sure variables are in the correct units • Choose equation(s) that fits known variables • Solve equations • Double check answer – does it make sense?

  7. Example #1 A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 17.8 m/s in 12 s. • What is the distance the car travels in this time? • What is the acceleration of the car?

  8. Example #1 (continued) Given: • v0 = 0 m/s • vf = 17.8 m/s • t = 12 s Trying to find: • d = ? • a = ? • Equation: • d = do + ½(vo + v)t • Solve: • d = 0 + ½(0 +17.8)(12) • d = 106.8 m • Equation: vf2 = vo2 + 2ad • Solve: • (17.8)2 = 02 + 2(a)(106.8) • a = 1.48 m/s2

  9. Example #2 • A jet flying at 522 km/hr is accelerated at the rate of 23.1 m/s2 for 20.0 s. • What is its final velocity? • What distance does the plane cover during this time?

  10. Example #2 (continued) Given: • v0 = 522 km/hr • t =20.0 s • a = 23.1 m/s2 Trying to find: • vf = ? • d = ? Equation: vf = vo + at • Solve: • vf = (145 ) + (23.1)(20.0) • vf =607 m/s • Equation: vf2 = vo2 + 2ad • Solve: • (607)2 = (145)2 + 2(23.1)(d) • d = 7520 m

  11. Homework • In your lab notebook: • Lunchroom Walk Lab • Inclined Plane Lab • Homework so far: • Metric Conversion WS

  12. More Homework! • Chapter 5 • #15, 16, 20, 28, 35, 44, 46, 49, 55, 59, 62 • Remember to follow the problem solving steps I showed you previously • Show all work and label all answers!
