Four Kinematic Equations
Explanations and Derivations
For an object moving with constant acceleration, the average velocity is equal to the average of the initial velocity and the final velocity
We also know, of course, that
Motion Equation #1 Displacement with Constant Acceleration
…move t to the other side...
Motion Equation #2 Velocity with Constant Acceleration
Another Approach to Equation #2
y = mx + b

time (s)
vf = at + vi vf = vi + ator
Motion Equation #3Displacement with Constant Acceleration
By substituting the expression for vf into our first equation for Dx, we get:
First equation:
Motion Equation #4Final velocity after any displacement
See derivation in text book…
FINAL VELOCITY AFTER ANY DISPLACEMENT
vf2 = vi

Summary
Motion with Constant Acceleration
We now have all the equations we need to solve constant-acceleration problems.
vf2 = vi
2 + 2aDx
A car slows down uniformly from a speed of 21.0 m/s to rest in 6.00 seconds. How far did it travel in that time?
The words “slowing down uniformly” implies that the car has a constant acceleration.
vi = +21.0 m/s
t = 6.00 sec
vf = 0 m/s
Dx = ?
Choose an equation
Dx = 63.0 m
A world-class sprinter can burst out of the blocks and reach essentially top speed (of about 11.5 m/s) in the first 15.0 m of the race. What is the average acceleration of this sprinter, and how long does it take her to reach that speed?
vf = +11.5 m/s
Dx = 15.0 m
vi = 0 m/s
a = ?
Choose an equation
= 4.41 m/s2

Ima Hurryin is approaching a stoplight moving with a velocity of +30.0 m/s. The light turns yellow, and Ima applies the brakes and skids to a stop. If Ima accelerates at a rate of 8.00 m/s2, then determine the displacement of the car during the skidding process. (Note that the direction of the velocity and the acceleration vectors are denoted by a + and a - sign.)

Ben Rushin is waiting at a stoplight. When it finally turns green, Ben accelerated from rest at a rate of a 6.00 m/s2 for a time of 4.10 seconds. Determine the displacement of Ben's car during this time period.
