  • Kinematics

    (^ stands for exponent) Distance traveled by the prey = s = v t = 6.9 m/s. x 2.5 s = 17.25 m (prey travels with uniform velocity) Distance traveled by cheetah = s= u t + ½ at^2 u= initial velocity= 0 (since the cheetah starts from rest) t= elapsed

  • Estimation of uniform acceleration an example

    The area under a velocity vs time curve represents the distance traveled in the specified time, draw a vertical line at any time and extend this until it meets the curve.

  • Conceptual questions/problems on kinematics

    b) Zero velocity at an instant and nonzero acceleration implies the object is momentarily at rest at the given instant but its velocity is changing with time.

  • Motion Along a Straight Line

    A racing car traveling with constant acceleration increases its speed from 10 m/s to 50 m/s over a distance of 60m. How long does this take? 31. A car starts from rest and goes down a slope with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s^2.

  • Acceleration / deceleration physics problem

    Acceleration = change in velocity / time = (108*5/18) /30 = 1 m/s2 Deceleration = change in velocity / time = (108*5/18) /10 = 3 m/s2 3) Calculate the distance traveled in each section of the motion.

  • motion of prejectile

    In the horizontal direction, it has constant velocity So the horizontal distance travels is d = v0x * t = 100 * 5 = 500 m Answer: B The solution analyzes the motion of projectile in detail. The velocity and acceleration is determined.

  • Kinematics and Velocity, Position, and Acceleration

    Each one of these sections produces a constant linear relationship between the position and time traveled.

  • Rate of deceleration

    The solution provides explanations on how to find out the rate of acceleration based on the known distance traveled, final velocity and initial velocity.
