A graph of v t v t is shown for a world-class track sprinter in a 100-m race. (See Figure 2.65). (a) What is his average velocity for the first 4 s? (b) What is his instantaneous velocity at t = 5 s t = 5 s? (c) What is his average acceleration between 0 and 4 s? (d) What is his time for the race?
Essentially you need to be able to sketch and interpret two main kinds of graphs in kinematics: 1. Displacement as a function of Time Graphs. Sometimes called d-t graphs, or position – time graphs. 2. Velocity as a functionof Time Graphs. Sometimes called v-t graphs. Displacement as a function of Time Graphs.
$d = v_0 t + \frac{at^2}{2}$ and $d=\overline vt$ Given the same initial and final velocities, and time and acceleration. With the second equation I need not use the acceleration.
Δ x = v t − 1 2 a t 2 (This formula is missing v 0 .) . The fifth kinematic equation looks just like the third kinematic equation Δ x = v 0 t + 1 2 a t 2 except with the initial velocity v 0 replaced with final velocity v and the plus sign replaced with a minus sign.

To get the last kinematic equation, rewrite Δv = aΔt as Δt = Δv/a and insert it into Δ²d = aΔt². Simplifying gives Δ²d = Δv²/a. Upon integration that gives d = v²/2a, or in its more familiar form vf² - vi² = 2ad.
