Understanding Kinematic

What is it?

Kinematics is the study of motion without considering the forces causing it. It focuses on quantities like displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. The key equations, often called the kinematic equations, help describe the motion of objects under constant acceleration.

Key Concepts

Displacement (Δx)

The change in position of an object.

Velocity (v)

The rate of change of displacement.

Acceleration (a)

The rate of change of velocity.

Time (t)

The duration of motion.

Kinematic Equations

1. Final Velocity:

v = vi + a * t

2. Displacement:

Δx = vi * t + 0.5 * a * t²

3. Final Velocity Squared:

v² = vi² + 2 * a * Δx

4. Average Velocity:

vavg = (v + vi) / 2
