THE BIG 5 EQUATIONS OF MOTION

UNIFORM ACCELERATION

?

acceleration is constant

?

5 Kinematic equations...much easier than

graphical analysis!

EQUATION #1

?

?

v-t graph, straight line

(uniform acceleration)

¦¤d = area under graph

¦¤d=Atriangle + Arectangle

EQUATION #2

?

we know that

?

we can say,

?

rearranging, we get

EQUATION #3

?

we can use equations (1) and (2) to derive

equation (3)

(1)

(2)
