Position, Velocity, Acceleration Flashcards
Total distance
Integration of absolute value of velocity function between the bounds.
Speed
Absolute value of velocity function. Speed does not have direction.
Total displacement
The integration of velocity function between two bounds.
Speeding up.
Decreasing speed or velocity.
Both velocity and acceleration have same sign.
Slowing down
Decreasing speed and velocity
The velocity and acceptation have different signs.
Projectile functions.
Maximum Height or reaching highest point.
When velocity equal to zero or derivative of position function equal to zero.
Acceleration
1st derivative of velocity function
Or 2nd derivative of position function.
Velocity function
Derivative of position function.
Integration of acceleration function.
Initial position (S0)
Position when time equal to zero.
Initial velocity (V0)
Velocity when time equal to zero.
Average velocity
S(b)-S(a) ---------- b-a Or Integration of velocity between bounds (a,b) and divide by b-a
Average acceleration
b-a
