Kinematic Equations - III

La première et la deuxième équation cinématique ont toutes deux le temps comme variable.
La troisième équation est indépendante du temps et inclut la relation entre les variables déplacement, vitesse x et accélération constante. 
La première équation de la cinématique est réarrangée pour obtenir une expression du temps. De plus, cette expression temporelle est substituée dans la deuxième équation de cinématique. Décalez le terme x0 vers la gauche et multipliez les deux côtés par 2ax. En simplifiant davantage, on obtient une expression de la vitesse finale au carré égale à la vitesse initiale au carré plus deux fois l’accélération multipliée par la différence entre la distance finale et la distance initiale. Il s’agit de la troisième équation cinématique.
La quatrième équation cinématique n’implique pas d’accélération x constante et peut être obtenue en égalisant les deux expressions de la vitesse moyenne x introduite précédemment. Les deux côtés sont ensuite multipliés par le temps t. Cela donne une relation stipulant que la différence entre la distance finale et la distance initiale est égale à la moyenne de la vitesse x au moment initial et final multipliée par le temps t.

Équations cinématiques - iii

Les deux premières équations cinématiques ont le temps comme variable, mais la troisième équation cinématique est indépendante du temps. Cette équation exprime la vélocité finale en fonction de l'accélération et de la distance sur laquelle elle agit. La quatrième équation cinématique n'a pas de terme d'accélération et donne la position finale de l'objet à l'instant t en termes de vélocités initiale et finale. Cette équation est utile lorsque la valeur de l'accélération constante est inconnue.

En utilisant les équations cinématiques, des informations descriptives sur le mouvement d'un objet peuvent être obtenues. Le processus de développement de la cinématique donne également un aperçu d'une approche générale de résolution de problèmes qui produit à la fois des réponses correctes et des connaissances sur les relations physiques. Ces équations et les stratégies de résolution de problèmes associées sont utiles uniquement lorsque l'accélération est constante ; si l'accélération de l'objet n'est pas constante, une approche différente pour résoudre la dynamique de l'objet est requise.

L'applicabilité des équations cinématiques n'est pas limitée au mouvement unidimensionnel. Ces équations peuvent être généralisées aux dimensions supérieures, à condition que l'accélération de l'objet soit constante. De même, ces équations peuvent également être généralisées au mouvement de rotation en utilisant des grandeurs physiques appropriées qui décrivent le mouvement de rotation de l'objet, tant que l'accélération angulaire de l'objet est constante.

constant-acceleration kinematics formulas

Constant-acceleration kinematics formulas connect an object’s motion when acceleration stays the same. They help describe how velocity and position change over time. These equations are useful for solving motion problems and for understanding the relationships among distance, time, velocity, and acceleration.

The third kinematic equation does not use time as a variable. Instead, it gives final velocity in terms of acceleration and the distance over which that acceleration acts. The fourth kinematic equation does not include acceleration. It gives the final position of an object at time t in terms of the initial and final velocities, so it is useful when the value of the constant acceleration is unknown.

These kinematic equations also show a general problem-solving method in physics. That method can lead to correct answers and to a better understanding of how physical quantities are related. The equations work only when acceleration is constant. If acceleration changes, a different approach is needed.

The same equations are not limited to motion in one straight line. They can be extended to motion in higher dimensions as long as acceleration remains constant. They can also be adapted for rotational motion by using quantities that describe rotation, provided the angular acceleration is constant.

position and displacement

Reference Frames and Motion in a Line

Position in straight-line motion depends on a frame of reference. A frame of reference is an arbitrary set of axes used to describe an object’s position and motion. It gives meaning to where something is located at a particular time. Earth is often used as the reference frame. In that case, we describe an object’s position relative to stationary objects on Earth. A rocket launch can be described this way. A cyclist’s position can also be described relative to the buildings they pass. <br...

average velocity

Average Velocity and Average Speed

Average velocity and average speed help describe motion in kinematics. To compare motion over time, we use the time variable. Time lets us track an object’s position and how fast that position changes. For motion between two points, each position x_i is paired with a time t_i. When the details of motion at each instant are not important, we use average velocity. Average velocity is a vector quantity, so it includes direction. It is found by dividing total displacement, Δx, by the time...

instantaneous velocity - i

Instantaneous Speed and Direction

Instantaneous velocity describes how fast an object is moving at a specific instant. It gives the motion of a particle at one point in time or at one point along its path. Average velocity over a time interval cannot show this level of detail. Instantaneous velocity, often written as v x , is the limit of average velocity as the elapsed time approaches zero. It can also be found as the derivative of x with respect to t . Like average velocity, it is a vector with dimensions of length per unit...

instantaneous velocity - ii

Instantaneous Velocity from Position Graphs

Instantaneous velocity describes how fast an object is moving at a specific moment along its path. It is the limit of average velocity as the elapsed time approaches zero. It can also be written as the derivative of displacement with respect to time. Like average velocity, instantaneous velocity is a vector, so it has both size and direction. Its units are length per unit time. Instantaneous velocity can be positive or negative. A position-time graph can show it at any point on the motion...

average acceleration

Average Acceleration and Velocity Change

Average acceleration describes how velocity changes over time. In physics, acceleration is not just about speeding up. It also includes slowing down and changing direction. Since velocity is a vector, it has both magnitude and direction. A change in velocity can come from a change in speed, a change in direction, or both. For example, a runner may travel at 10 km/h due east, stop, reverse direction, and then continue at 10 km/h due west. Even though the speed is the same, the velocity has...

instantaneous acceleration

Negative Acceleration and Instant Speed Change

Acceleration shows how velocity changes, and it does not always point in the same direction as motion. When an object slows down, its acceleration points opposite to its motion. This is often called deceleration, but that term can cause confusion because deceleration is not a vector and does not point in a specific direction in a coordinate system. A subway train is a simple example. When the train slows down, it is still accelerating, but the acceleration points opposite to the direction it...

kinematic equations - i

Velocity from Constant Acceleration

Velocity from constant acceleration shows how an object’s speed and direction change when the acceleration stays the same. The first kinematic equation connects initial velocity, acceleration, and time for motion with constant acceleration. It helps describe how velocity changes at a steady rate throughout the motion. The equation matches common sense in several cases. If acceleration is zero, the final velocity is the same as the initial velocity, so the object keeps a constant velocity. If...

kinematic equations - ii

Using the Second Kinematic Equation

The second kinematic equation relates an object’s final position to its initial position, its starting velocity, and the extra distance gained as velocity changes. It is used only when acceleration stays constant during the motion. That makes it useful for straight-line motion problems with a steady rate of acceleration. A car merging onto a 200 m freeway ramp is a good example. In the example, the car starts at 10 m/s and accelerates at 2 m/s². The known values are the distance, the initial...

kinematic equations: problem solving

Solving Constant Acceleration Motion Problems

Solving one-dimensional motion problems with constant acceleration starts with identifying the known quantities and choosing the right kinematic equation. A kinematic equation is a motion formula that relates displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. Depending on what is known and unknown, you may need one equation or two equations to find the answer. In many problems, the number of equations needed matches the number of unknowns. Two-body pursuit problems are different. They always...

free-falling bodies: introduction

Gravity and Free-Fall Motion

Gravity and free-fall motion explain how objects move when only Earth’s gravity acts on them. In free-fall, the motion is caused by gravitational force, and air resistance is neglected. This means the object accelerates toward Earth’s center. This result is surprising because everyday experience includes friction and air resistance. We often expect lighter objects to fall more slowly than heavier ones. People held that idea until Galileo Galilei proved that mass does not change the...

free-falling bodies: example

Gravity-Driven Free Fall Motion

Gravity-driven free fall motion is the motion of an object when gravity is the only force acting on it and air resistance is absent. In this case, the object is in free-fall. The acceleration due to gravity stays constant, no matter how much the object weighs. Free-fall is not limited to objects moving straight down. It also includes motion that is affected only by gravity. Because the acceleration is constant, the motion can be described with kinematic equations. Objects dropped from the...

velocity and position by graphical method

velocity-and-position-by-graphical-method

Acceleration Graphs for Motion Prediction

Acceleration graphs can be used to find velocity and position over time. The area under an acceleration-time graph gives the change in velocity. The area under a velocity-time graph gives the change in position, or displacement. A real example is an airplane using an inertial navigation system. Before takeoff, the pilot enters the airplane’s initial position and velocity. The system then uses acceleration data to calculate the airplane’s velocity and position during flight. When acceleration...

velocity and position by integral method

Finding Motion from Acceleration Data

Velocity and position can be found from acceleration using integral calculus. When acceleration is known as a function of time, the velocity function comes from integrating acceleration. The position function then comes from integrating velocity. For constant acceleration, these integral steps match the first and second kinematic equations for velocity and position. The example in this lesson uses a motorboat that is moving at 5.0 m/s and then begins to slow down as it approaches the dock. Its...
