Unit 1 - Kinematics Flashcards
1
Q
Kinematics
A
Study of motion of objects
2
Q
Motion
A
Change in location of objects, relative to observer
3
Q
Uniform & Nonuniform motion
A
- Movement w/constant speed in line
- Movement w/changes in speed or dir
4
Q
Position
A
Distance + direction from RP
5
Q
Towards the x axis
A
Towards the origin
6
Q
Away from x-axis
A
Away from origin
7
Q
Speed
A
Rate of Change
8
Q
If velocity is constant
A
Instant vel = average vel
9
Q
To convert graphs
A
- P-t to v-t = slope
- V-t to P-t = area
- v-t to a-t = slope
- a-t to v-t = area
10
Q
Acceleration
A
- Change in vel
- v/t
11
