Equations for Constant Acceleration
Acceleration:
- Accel. = change in velocity per unit time
- a = ?v / ?t
Velocity:
- ?v = a ?t
- or v = v0 + a (t - t0)
Distance:
- more difficult, since velocity changing
- distance = avg velocity X time
- average velocity at time t = 1/2 at
- So distance = x = (1/2 at ) t = 1/2 at2
