to add vectors
|
arrange head to tail, draw an arrow tail to head.
|
|
to subtract vectors
|
arrange head to head. draw arrow from tail to first to tail of second.
|
|
to multiply vectors
|
vector will point perpendicularly to both of the original vectors
|
|
Common triangles
|
3-4-5
5-12-13 |
|
displacement
|
position relative to the starting point.
Net distance. |
|
Acceleration
|
any change in velocity, (magnitude or direction)
|
|
Velocity =
|
Displacement/time
A vector. |
|
Linear motion equations
|
require constant acceleration
x = xo+ vot + ½ (at2) v = vo + at v2 = vo2 + 2ax |
|
average velocity
|
Vavg = 1/2 (v + vo)
|
|
displacement vs time graph
|
slope = instantaneous v
- upward = pos v - downward = neg v - straight = constant v - curved = changing v = a area beneath curve - no meaning |
|
velocity vs time graph
|
slope = instantaneous acceleration at that time
- upward = positive accel - downward = neg accel - straight line = constant accel - curved line = changing accel area beneath curve = distance or displacement |
