Physics Equations Flashcards
Position-Displacement Equation
Δx = x(final) - x (initial)
Displacement (Δx) is the distance between the final position and initial position
Average Velocity Equation
V (avg) = Δx/Δt
The average velocity is equal to the change in x over the change in time
Instantaneous Velocity Equation
v =lim Δx/Δt
Δt->0
Instantaneous velocity (v) is the derivative of position with respect to time, representing the velocity at a specific moment.
Acceleration Equation
a = Δv/Δt
acceleration is the change in velocity of the change in time
Instantaneous acceleration is what you get when the change in time approaches zero
or you take the derivative of the velocity with respect to time
Equation of Motion
Δx = v(i)t + (1/2)a(t)^2
Velocity acceleration time relationship
v (f) = v(i) + at
Projectile Range Equation
Range = (v^2(i) * sin (2ø))/ g
Projectile Time of Flight Equation
T = 2v(i) sin(ø)/g
Projectile Maximum Height Equation
H = (v^2(i)sin^2(ø))/2g
