Kinematic Equations

Front

The unit we use to measure acceleration is ___

Back

m/s²

Front

What equation should you choose to find the acceleration of a car that speeds up from 29 m/s to 34 m/s over a distance of 110 m?

Back

v² = v₀² + 2ad

Front

If Michael Jordan has a vertical leap of 1.29 m, what is his takeoff speed if his acceleration is -9.8 m/s² and his velocity at the top of his leap is 0 m/s?

Back

v² = v₀² + 2ad

Front

Which symbol represents speed at any time?

Back

v

Front

What happens to the velocity of a ball as it is dropped off a cliff?

Back

It increases at a uniform rate.

Front

Define acceleration.

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average speed = total distance / total time.

Front

What does the symbol 'd' represent in kinematic equations?

Back

The symbol 'd' represents displacement.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What is the kinematic equation that relates initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time?

Back

v = v₀ + at
