Chapter 2 Kinematics in one dimension
Concepts: Displacement,
Average and instantaneous velocities (rate of change of displacement)
Acceleration (rate of change of velocity),
Speed (scalar), velocity (vector)
Constant acceleration- Equations relating x, v, vo, a and t
v = vo + at
x = (vo + v)t/2
x = vot + at2/2
v2 = vo2 + 2ax
Bodies under free fall- constant downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 or 32 ft/s2
Interpreting displacement-time graphs, and velocity-time graphs
