Uniformly Accelerated Motion and Freefall Flashcards
1D Motion
Uniform motion, Uniformly Accelerated Motion, Freefall Motion
If an object has a constant acceleration, the instantaneous acceleration is equal to the average acceleration.
Uniform Acceleration
The area bounded by the v-t graph and the time axis gives
the
displacement
equation 1
vx = axt + v0x
equation 2
∆x = 1/2(vx + v0x)t
equation 3
x = x0 + v0xt + 1/2axt^2
equation 4
vx^2 = v0x^2 + 2ax (x − x0)
The gravitational pull of the earth on an object results in a “falling” motion which is an
accelerated motion
The acceleration of an object varies with the ______ of the
object from the earth’s surface.
distance
The acceleration of an object does not vary with the _____ of the
object.
mass
Any falling body will experience air resistance, ______ its
motion.
slowing down
Constant acceleration of a body falling under the influence of the
earth’s gravitational attraction
freefall
