Describing Motion with Equations The Physics （描述运动方程的物理）.pdfVIP

Motion in One Dimension Name: Describing Motion with Equations Read from Lesson 6 of the 1-D Kinematics chapter at The Physics Classroom: /Class/1DKin/U1L6a.html /Class/1DKin/U1L6b.html /Class/1DKin/U1L6d.html MOP Connection: None Motion can be described using words, diagrams, numerical information, equations, and graphs. Describing motion with equations involves using the three simple equations for average speed, average velocity, and average acceleration and the more complicated equations known as kinematic equations. Definitional Equations: distance traveled displacement Average Speed = time Average Velocity = time change in velocity Acceleration = change in time Kinematic Equations: You should be able to use the following kinematic equations to solve problems. These equations appropriately apply to the motion of objects traveling with a constant acceleration. vi + vf 1 vf = vi + a t d = 2 t d = vi t + 2 a t2 vf2 = vi2 + 2 a d © The Physics Classroom, 2009 Page 1 A Note on Problem Solving A common instructional goal of a physics course is to assist students in becoming better and more confident problem-solvers. Not all good and confident problem-solvers use the same approaches to solving problems. Nonetheless, there are several habits which they all share in common. While a good problem-solver may not religiously adhere to these habitual practices, t
