acceleration

acceleration

measure of how quickly velocity changes (m/s^2 or m/s/s)

kinematics equations

five equations that can be used w/ objects that have a constant acceleration

kinematics equation that's missing delta X

kinematics equation that's missing acceleration (a)

kinematics equation that's missing velocity (v)

kinematics equation that's missing velocity naught (v0)

kinematics equation that's missing time (t)

if an object is NOT accelerating, use the formula

slope of a position vs. time graph gives you

velocity

slope of a velocity vs. time graph gives you

acceleration

integral of a velocity vs. time graph gives you

distance (abs value) and displacement (change in position)

integral of a acceleration vs. time graph gives you

change in velocity

graphs for positive direction constant V

graphs for negative direction constant V

graphs for positive direction speeding up

graphs for positive direction slowing down

graphs for negative direction speeding up

graphs for negative direction slowing down

horizontal line at 0 on a position vs time graph

not moving

horizontal line not at 0 on a position vs time graph

not moving

diagonal line sloping up on a position vs time graph

positive velocity

diagonal line sloping down on a position vs time graph

negative velocity

curved line, concave up on a position vs time graph

positive acceleration

curved line, concave down on a position vs time graph

negative acceleration

horizontal line at 0 on a velocity vs time graph

not moving

horizontal line not at 0 on a velocity vs time graph

constant velocity

diagonal line sloping up on a velocity vs time graph

pos acceleration

diagonal line sloping down on a velocity vs time graph

neg acceleration

cc up or down on a velocity v time graph

changing acceleration

horizontal line at 0 on an acceleration vs time graph

not moving/constant velocity

horizontal line not at 0 on an acceleration vs time graph

constant acceleration

line sloping up or down on an acceleration vs time graph

change in acceleration

line cc up or down on an acceleration vs time graph
