Linear Kinematics Flashcards
1
Q
Kinematic Equations
A
Vf=Vi+at
d=Vit+ 1/2at^2
Vf^2=Vi^2+2ad
2
Q
Instantaneous Velocity
A
How how fast in what direction at a specific point in time (same as instantaneous speed)
3
Q
Slope
A
Rise/Run (tangent of the lower angle of a triangle)
4
Q
Horizontal Acceleration (projectile motion)
A
zero
5
Q
Vertical Acceleration
A
acceleration due to gravity -9.8m/s^2
6
Q
Which factors influence Projectile motion, which is most important
A
velocity of release (most important): increase Vh (distance and Vv time of flight
angle of release: increases time of flight only
relative height of release: affects ratio of vh and vv minimally
7
Q
Horizontal Component of Velocity equation
A
Dh=Vh*Ttot
8
Q
Optimal angle of release
A
always 45 degrees for even surface
less than 45 if takeoff is higher than landing
