Motion Along a Straight Line

Kinematic Equations - I

Description

When an object moves with constant acceleration, the velocity of the object changes at a constant rate throughout the motion. The kinematic equations of motions are derived for such cases where the acceleration of the object is constant. The first kinematic equation gives an insight into the relationship between velocity, acceleration, and time....

Transcript

Around us, we see many examples of objects moving with constant acceleration where the rate of change of velocity is the same throughout the motion. For example, a ball falling under gravity has constant acceleration if the effects of air are neglected.

The motion of objects with constant acceleration is approximated by kinematic equation...
