3.1 Acceleration

Average acceleration a ¯ = Δv Δt = v f − v 0 t f − t o a ¯ = Δv Δt = v f − v 0 t f − t o

3.2 Representing Acceleration with Equations and Graphs

Average velocity d= d 0 + v ¯ t d= d 0 + v ¯ t , or v ¯ = d t v ¯ = d t when d0 = 0
Average velocity v ¯ = v 0 + v f 2 v ¯ = v 0 + v f 2
Velocity with constant acceleration v= v 0 +at v= v 0 +at , or v=at v=at when v0 = 0
Displacement with constant acceleration d= d 0 + v 0 t+ 1 2 a t 2 d= d 0 + v 0 t+ 1 2 a t 2 , or a= 2d t 2 a= 2d t 2 when d0 = 0 and v0 = 0
Constant acceleration v 2 = v 0 2 +2a( d− d 0 ) v 2 = v 0 2 +2a( d− d 0 ) , or a= v 2 2d a= v 2 2d when d0 = 0 and v0 = 0
