EQUATIONS FOR UNIFORM ACCELERATION
V = ……
V = u + at
EQUATIONS FOR UNIFORM ACCELERATION
V^2 = …..
V^2 = u^2 + 2as
EQUATIONS FOR UNIFORM ACCELERATION
S = …..
S = ut + 1/2at^2
If person A has a heavier mass than person B, do they reach the ground faster?
NO
Not if air resistance is the same
What is vertical acceleration always due to?
Gravity
What is acceleration always at when horizontal for motion in flight ?
0
What do we assume acceleration due to gravity is?
-9.81 m/s^2
When an object is in flight what is the only acceleration acting horizontally on it?
Air resistance
– Assume its negligible = horizontal acceleration always 0
