Kinematics in One imension Return to Table of ontents Kin in One imension Review of 1 Kinematics Kinematics is the description of how objects move with respect to a defined reference frame. isplacement is the change in position of an object. verage speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it took; average velocity is the displacement divided by the time. Instantaneous velocity is the limit as the time becomes infinitesimally short. verage acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time. Jul 23 1:46 PM 1
Review of 1 Kinematics Instantaneous acceleration is the limit as the time interval becomes infinitesimally small.

Motion at onstant cceleration In physics there is another approach in addition to algebraic which is called graphical analysis. The following formula v = v graph. 0 + at can be interpreted by the We just need to recall our memory from math classes where we already saw a similar formula y = mx + b. Jul 13 1:45 PM Motion at onstant cceleration From these two formulas we can find some analogies: Velocity v y (depended variable of x), v 0 b (intersection with vertical axis), t x (independent variable), a m ( slope of the graph the ratio between rise and run Δy/Δx). y = m x + b v = a t + v 0 (or v = v 0 + a t) Jul 13 1:45 PM 5
