Ch. 2 Graphing of Motion in One Dimension

Ch. 2 Graphing of Motion in One Dimension. Displacement-time Graph ( D x vs. D t). Slope equals velocity. The "y" intercept equals the initial displacement. When two curves coincide, the two objects have the same displacement at that time. Straight lines imply constant velocity.

  1. Ch. 2 Graphing of Motion in One Dimension

  2. Displacement-time Graph (Dx vs. Dt) Slope equals velocity. The "y" intercept equals the initial displacement.

  3. When two curves coincide, the two objects have the same displacement at that time. • Straight lines imply constant velocity.

  4. Curved lines imply acceleration. An object undergoing constant acceleration traces a portion of a parabola.

  5. Average velocity is the slope of the straight line connecting the endpoints of a curve. • Instantaneous velocity is the slope of the line tangent to a curve at any point.

  6. Positive slope implies motion in the positive direction. • Negative slope implies motion in the negative direction.

  7. Velocity-time graph (Vel. vs. Dt) • Slope equals acceleration. • The"y" intercept equals the initial velocity.

  8. When two curves coincide, the two objects have the same velocity at that time. • Straight lines imply uniform acceleration.

  9. Curved lines imply non-uniform acceleration. • An object undergoing constant acceleration traces a straight line.

  10. Average acceleration is the slope of the straight line connecting the endpoints of a curve. • Instantaneous acceleration is the slope of the line tangent to a curve at any point.

  11. - Positive slope implies an increase in velocity in the positive direction. - Negative slope implies an increase in velocity in the negative direction.

  12. Zero slope implies motion with constant velocity. • The area under the curve equals the change in displacement.

  13. Acceleration-time graph (a vs. Dt) • Slope is meaningless. • The "y" intercept equals the initial acceleration.

  14. When two curves coincide, the two objects have the same acceleration at that time. • An object undergoing constant acceleration traces a horizontal line.

  15. Zero slope implies motion with constant acceleration. • The area under the curve equals the change in velocity.
