1 Position(x, y or z) Displacement (?x, ?y or ?z) Change in position. Depends only on initial and final positions, not on path. Includes direction. ?x = ?vdt Velocity (v) Displacement per unit time Average velocity vave = ?x/?t Instantaneous velocity v = dx/dt ?v = ?adt Acceleration (a) A change in velocity: speeding up, slowing down, or turning. Average acceleration aave = ?v/?t Instantaneous acceleration a = dv/dt Problem: Acceleration (B-1993) 1. In which of the following situations would an object be accelerated? I. It moves in a straight line at constant speed. II. It moves with uniform circular motion. III. It travels as a projectile in a gravitational field with negligible air resistance. (A) I only (B) III only (C) I and II only

AP Kinematics Review Sheet Basic Terms: Position ? Location (sometimes in x and y coordinates) Displacement ? Distance and direction from initial position Speed ? Rate of change of displacement; magnitude only Velocity ? Rate of change of displacement; direction and magnitude; v = ?x/?t Acceleration ? Rate of change of velocity; direction and magnitude; a = ?v/?t For graphs of position versus time, velocity versus time, and acceleration versus time: Velocity is the slope of a position versus time graph Average velocity ? only use the first and last points Instantaneous velocity ? use the slope of the tangent line to the curve *The area under a velocity vs time graph equals distance acceleration is the slope of a velocity versus time graph

Kinematics Uniform Motion How can uniform motion be I. Any object moving at a constant velocity expressed and how can it be II. When graphed, the line of best fit represents the average speed calculated? a. y = mx + b; where ?m? is the constant (slope) and ?b? is the initial value b. velocity = displacement / time (m/s) Vectors and Scalars What is the difference betw- I. A vector is a measurement that has a direction component een a vector and a scalar? a. Velocity and displacement are vector quantities (e.g. 5 km/h [S]) II. Speed and distance are scalar quantities (e.g. 15 m away) Uniform Acceleration What is uniform acceleration I. Accelerated motion (non-uniform) occurs when an object travelling in a
