11 Physics Chapter 2 Comprehensive Notes P3

The document discusses the velocity-time graph and equations of motion for constant acceleration using calculus. It provides three key equations: 1) The velocity-time graph of uniform acceleration is a straight line that slopes upward for positive acceleration and downward for negative acceleration. 2) The equation v = v0 + at relates the final velocity (v), initial velocity (v0), acceleration (a), and time (t). 3) The equation x = x0 + v0t + 1/2at2 relates the displacement (x), initial displacement (x0), initial velocity (v0), acceleration (a), and time (t).

VELOCITY TIME GRAPH OF A UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION

The velocity-time graph of a uniformly accelerated motion is a


straight line graph inclining towards the time axis. If the object
has positive constant acceleration, the graph slopes upward. In
case the object has negative constant acceleration, the velocity-
time graph will slope downward.

EQUATIONS OF MOTION FOR CONSTANT ACCELERATION USING CALCULUS METHOD


Change∈ velocity
Acceleration =

dv
a=
dt
dv = a . dt

Integrating on both sides with low and high values,


v t

∫ dv = ∫ a dt
v0 0
t
= a ∫ dt ( since a is a constant)
0

Substituting integral values v – v0 at


v = v0 + at  Eq. 1
dx
We know that, v =
dt
dx = v dt
Integrating on both sides,
x t

∫ dx = ∫ v dt
x0 0

Using v value from Eq.1,


x t

∫ dx = ∫ v dt
x0 0
t
x – x0 = ∫ ( v|0+at ) dt

t
x – x0 = ∫ ( v 0 dt+ at . dt )

We can write the acceleration as


dv dv dx dv
a= = = v
dt dx dt dx
v dv =a dx
Integrating on both sides,
v x

∫ vdv=∫ a dx
v0 x0

v −v 0
= a ( x − x0 )

v = v 0 + 2a ( x − x 0 )  Eq.3

The advantage of this integral calculus method is that it can be used for motion with non-
uniform acceleration also.
