16
Q

Acceleration tells us

A

How fast an object’s velocity changes

17
Q

Can an object accelerate if its speed is constant?

A

Yes,acceleration is change in velocity

Ball at the top will be acceleration although its velocity will be zero

18
Q

If the acceleration points in the same direction as the initial velocity

A

The objects speed is increasing

19
Q

If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity an objects speed

A

Is constant

20
Q

If acceleration is in the opposite direction from velocity that means

A

The objects speed is decreasing

21
Q

If acceleration is at an angle between 0-90 to the velocity the objects speed

A

Is increasing and direction of v is changing

22
Q

If acceleration is at an angle between 90-180 to velocity the objects speed is

A

Decreasing and direction of v is changing

23
Q

Missing a

A

D = 1/2(Vo+V)t

24
Q

Missing d

A

V=Vo + at

25
Q

Missing v

A

D=Vot+1/2at^2

26
Q

Missing Vo

A

D=vt-1/2at^2

27
Q

Missing t

A

V^2=Vo^2+2ad

28
Q

A quantity is missing when

A

It’s not given or asked for

29
Q

The slope of a position vs time graph

A

Gives velocity

30
Q

The slope of a velocity vs. time graph gives the

A

Acceleration

31
Q

The area under a velocity vs. time graph gives

A

Displacement

Or use Big 5 #1 : d=1/2(Vo+V)t

32
Q

The Big Five is used only

A

In situations where the acceleration is constant

33
Q

If the horizontal acceleration is zero throughout the projectiles flight

A

The horizontal velocity will be constant throughout the flight
