calculus - motion (AB) Flashcards
velocity = 0
stopped
new position
initial position + change
f(new) = f(old) + integral of velocity
acceleration and velocity have the same sign
speed increasing
velocity graph is above the x-axis
moving right or up
velocity
moving left or down
total distance travelled formula
integral of abs value of velocity
On the velocity graph, how can you find if there is a change of direction
graph crossed over the x-axis
speed decreasing
velocity and acceleration have different signs
working against each other - slowing down
velocity > 0
moving up or right
displacement
integral of velocity
velocity graph is below the x-axis
moving left or down
velocity and acceleration have different signs
speed decreasing
acceleration = 0
constant speed
what happens if the velocity changes sign?
change of direction
How far you are from where you started
displacement
