(B) describe and analyze motion in one dimension using equations with the concepts of distance, displacement, speed, average velocity, instantaneous velocity, and acceleration; (F) identify and describe motion relative to different frames of reference.
12 wrz 2022 · Calculate the velocity vector given the position vector as a function of time. Calculate the average velocity in multiple dimensions. Displacement and velocity in two or three dimensions are straightforward extensions of the one-dimensional definitions.
Displacement can be calculated by measuring the final distance away from a point, and then subtracting the initial distance. Displacement is key when determining velocity (which is also a vector). Velocity = displacement/time whereas speed is distance/time.
Specifically, if an object changes direction in its journey, the total distance traveled will be greater than the magnitude of the displacement between those two points. See the solved examples below.
If we know three of these five kinematic variables for an object undergoing constant acceleration, we can use a kinematic equation to solve for one of the unknown variables. The kinematic equations are listed below. 1. v = v 0 + a t. 2. Δ x = ( v + v 0 2) t. 3. Δ x = v 0 t + 1 2 a t 2. 4. v 2 = v 0 2 + 2 a Δ x.
