Kinematics: Motion in One Dimension

objectives Section Objectives

After you have completed this section, you will be able to:

  1. Describe conceptually the velocity and acceleration for objects moving with constant velocity and constant acceleration.
  2. Write and use mathematical models (equations) to solve problems involving constant velocity and constant acceleration in one-dimension.
  3. Sketch and analyze graphs of position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time for values for position, displacement, instantaneous velocity, average velocity, and acceleration.
