•Displacement in terms of Average
Velocity and Time

d= vt

d= ½ (vf + vi) t
How do we derive d= ½ (vf + vi)t from the
graph?

•Hint: Area Under the Line=Displacement Δd or simply d


Displacement (d) in terms of vi , a, t

d= vit + ½ at2
How do we derive d= vit + ½ at2 ?

Hint: Start with d= ½ (vf + vi)t and then


substitute for vf that vf = vi+at.
•Final Velocity in terms of vi, a, d

vf2 = vi2 + 2ad


How do we derive vf2 = vi2 + 2ad ?

 Hint: Start with d= ½ (vf + vi)t and then


substitute for t = (vf – vi) /a .
vf= vi+ at
vavg = ½ (vf +vi)

Solving Kinematics Problems
 Draw a labeled vector diagram showing the
positive and negative direction.
 Make a list of the givens (include signs as
needed) and unknown.
 Decide what equation(s) you should use.
 Write the equation(s) and solve for the
unknown. Always include units in your first
substitution and in your final answer.
Problem 1
A rocket travelling at +95m/s is
accelerated uniformly to +150m/s in 10s.
What is the displacement?

Answer:1,225.m
Problem 2
An airplane has a minimum take off
velocity of 80m/s. How long should the
runway be, if the airplane can accelerate
on the ground at 3m/s2 ?

Answer: 1,067m
Problem 3
An airplane landing at +100m/s, comes to
a stop in 30s.
1. What is the acceleration?
2. How far did it travel on the runway before it
stopped?

Answer: -3.3m/s2, 1,515m


A missile is accelerating at a rate of
4 t m/sec 2 from a position at rest in a
silo 35 m below ground level. How high
above the ground will it be after 6
seconds?
From the given conditions, you find
that a( t) = 4 t m/sec 2, v 0 = 0 m/sec
because it begins at rest, and s 0 = –35
m because the missile is below ground
level; hence,
After 6 seconds, you find that

hence, the missile will be 109 m above the


ground after 6 seconds.
 Example 1: A ball is thrown downward
from a height of 512 feet with a velocity of
64 feet per second. How long will it take
for the ball to reach the ground?
 From the given conditions, you find that
t
The distance is zero when the
ball reaches the ground or

hence, the ball will reach the ground 4


seconds after it is thrown.
Example 2: In the previous
example, what will the velocity of
the ball be when it hits the ground?

Because v( t) = –32( t) – 64 and it


takes 4 seconds for the ball to reach
the ground, you find that
hence, the ball will hit the ground with a
velocity of –192 ft/sec. The significance of
the negative velocity is that the rate of
change of the distance with respect to time
(velocity) is negative because the distance is
decreasing as the time increases.
