This is the first major formula, used for the calculation of average velocity. ⃗vave= Δd⃗ Δt v = velocity (m/s) d = displacement (m) t = time (s) • It is called average velocity because it looks at your overall velocity for the entire trip, not at any one particular velocity you might have been traveling at during the trip.
Speed (v) – how fast you go. Velocity (v) – how fast and which way; the rate at which position changes. Average speed ( v ) – distance/time. Acceleration (a) – how fast you speed up, slow down, or change direction; the rate at which velocity changes.
We can write the equation for velocity in symbols: v = s t v = Δs Δt The word equation for velocity is: velocity = change in displacement time taken Note that we are using Δs to mean ‘change in displace-ment s’. The symbol Δ, Greek letter delta, means ‘change in’. It does not represent a quantity (in the way that s does);
We know the operational meaning of our definitions, 𝑣=𝑑 𝑑 and 𝑎= 𝑑𝑣 𝑑 , that is how to differentiate s(t) and v(t). We often fail to recognize that our definitions, 𝑣=𝑑 𝑑 and 𝑎=𝑑𝑣 𝑑 , can be treated like ordinary equations involving fractions that can be manipulated as we choose.
Motion in one dimension (1D) In this chapter, we study speed, velocity, and acceleration for motion in one-dimension. One dimensional motion is motion along a straight line, like the motion of a glider on an airtrack.
Lesson 9: d-t & v-t Graphs. Graphing the motion of objects gives us a way to interpret the motion that would otherwise be difficult. Graphs will also allow you to show a large amount of information in a compact way. Sometimes called d-t graphs, or position – time graphs. Sometimes called v-t graphs.
Displacement, velocity & acceleration. Displacement is a vector quantity - it is the change of position of an object. Velocity is a vector quantity - it is the rate of change of displacement with time. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
