Variable Acceleration - [Mechanics 2]. Flashcards
What will a velocity time graph look like for variable acceleration?
An upward curve from the origin.
How do you find velocity from displacement?
You differentiate with respect to time.
How do you find acceleration from velocity?
You differentiate with respect to time.
How do you find velocity from acceleration?
Integrate with respect to time.
How do you find displacement from velocity?
Integrate with respect to time.
Displacement (s) –> Velocity (v).
Differentiate.
Velocity (v) –> Acceleration (a).
Differentiate.
Acceleration (a) –> Velocity (v).
Integrate.
Velocity (v) –> Displacement (s).
Integrate.
When integrating what do you need to remember?
The constant of integration (+c).
