Acceleration, Speed & Velocity Calculating Avg. Speed & Velocity: Remember: average acceleration = CHANGE in V / CHANGE in t Acceleration at a Glance: Acceleration is simply the change in velocity over the change in time Just because you have negative acceleration does not always mean you are going backwards, you could just simply be slowing down → Only works if acceleration is constant 2 2 Also, vf = vi + 2aΔd Remember, the area under a v vs. t graph will give you displacement Jerk: change in acceleration over change in time Airbus 380 Take-Off Distance: With constant acceleration you can do average velocity multiplied by change in time to get a displacement Why Distance is Area under Velocity vs. Time Line: Remember, if you integrate whatever plot, you got back one (integrate acceleration to get velocity, integrate velocity to get displacement) Average Velocity for Constant Acceleration: Remember, area under the velocity vs. time curve is displacement You can only do average velocity (vi + vf) when acceleration is constant (if the slope is constant then the acceleration is constant as well)
