Today I'll be doing two blogs since I forgot to do it for monday and assign someone for Tuesday. First we corrected alot of sheets in physics,

Acceleration (first page)1. a = V2-V1/Change of time = 25m/s-0m/s / 4s-0s = 6.3 m/s²
2. a = V2-V1/change of time = 29.28m/s-0m/s / 3s-0s = 9.8 m/s²
3. V2 = V1 + a(change of time) = 28m/s + (2.5m/s²)(3s-0s) = 36m/s
4. change of time = V2-V1 / a = 14.1m/s -0m/s / 13.2m/s² = 4.4s
5. change of velocity = a(change of time) = 56.3m/s²(1.9) = 107m/s = 110m/s with sig. digits
What is Acceleration?The change in
velocity divided by the
time interval is average acceleration. It can be calculated using the equation
a=v/t. In this equation
a stands for acceleration,
٨V stands for change in velocity, and
٨t stands forthe time interval. If velocity is measured in metres per second, acceleration is measures in
m/s/s, which is read as
metres per second per second. The unit also can be written as
m/s², which is read as
metres per second squared. Like velocity, acceleration is a(n)
vector quantity, which means it has both
magnitude and
direction. When velocity
increases, acceleration is positive. When velocity
decreases, acceleratin is negative.
Average and Instantaneous AccelerationA velocity-time graph shows how
velocity depends on
time. The rise of the curve represents the change in
velocity. The run of the curve represents the
time interval. The slope of the curve represents the
average acceleration. If the curve on a velocity-time graph is a straight line, the acceleration is
constant. If the curve is not a straight line, acceleration is
changing. The slope of a line tangeant to the curve is the
instantaneous acceleration at that time.
Velocity of an object with constant accelerationAcceleration that does not
change in time is constant, or
uniform, acceleration. The velocity when the clock time is
zero is the initial velocity. The velocity after acceleration has occurred is called the
final velocity, and is calculated using the equation
V2=V1+at. In this equation, V2 is
final velocity, V1
initial velocity,
a is
acceleration, and
t is
time interval.
Displacement when velocity and time are knownIf an object is accelrating, its displacement can be calculated using the equation
d=(V2+V1/2)t. In this equation,
d stands for displacement,
V2 stands for final velocity,
V1 stands for initial velocity, and
٨t stands for time interval. To find displacement using a
velocity-time graph, find the area under the curve.
Well this is all i can remember correcting over these two days, tell me if i forgot something and i'll try to find the answers to those also. Also don't forget to do the 2nd page on "Acceleration" as we will probably correct it in class tomorrow.
