Uniform Acceleration Vocabulary

Instantaneous Velocity

• It is a particular case of uniform (constant) acceleration in which the value of acceleration is constant and equal to the average acceleration due to gravity.
• Kinematic Equations
• The displacement and direction of an object at a particular clock reading, slope of a tangent line at that clock reading.
• Acceleration-time graph

Midpoint Rule

• On Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s/s. On the Moon is 1.62 m/s/s. On Jupiter is 24.79 m/s/s.
• The typical velocity-time graphs presented show if the object is moving to the positive or negative direction and their slopes let us know if the object is speeding up or slowing down.
• It is a technique to estimate the slope of a tangent line on a specific point (or moment in time), using other lines that intersect the position-time graph at equidistant points to the point analyzed. It's used to estimate the instantaneous velocity at that point.
• The arrows representing the acceleration on a motion map

Slope on a velocity vs. time graph represents...

• The branch of Physics studying how things move without analyzing what caused the motion.
• The motion of a body when a gravitational field is acting on the body.
• Acceleration
• A line in the plane of a curve that intersects it in exactly one point but never goes through the curve.

What does the y-intercept represent on a velocity vs. time graph?

• The displacement and direction of an object at a particular clock reading, slope of a tangent line at that clock reading.
• It is a particular case of uniform (constant) acceleration in which the value of acceleration is constant and equal to the average acceleration due to gravity.
• The initial velocity of an object (v with a subscript zero)
• Equations that describe motion in terms of time, displacement, velocity, and acceleration.

Acceleration

• It is a technique to estimate the slope of a tangent line on a specific point (or moment in time), using other lines that intersect the position-time graph at equidistant points to the point analyzed. It's used to estimate the instantaneous velocity at that point.
• On Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s/s. On the Moon is 1.62 m/s/s. On Jupiter is 24.79 m/s/s.
• The physical quantity that tells us if the object is speeding up or slowing down. It's a vector
• Kinematic Equations

It is the rate of the change of velocity over time for a specific time internal.

• Acceleration
• The branch of Physics studying how things move without analyzing what caused the motion.
• Indicates how much the velocity changed each second. Its units are m/s/s or m/s^2 (meters over second square).
• The typical velocity-time graphs presented show if the object is moving to the positive or negative direction and their slopes let us know if the object is speeding up or slowing down.

Area under a velocity vs. time graph represents

• The initial velocity of an object (v with a subscript zero)
• The displacement of an object in that time interval.
• The displacement and direction of an object at a particular clock reading, slope of a tangent line at that clock reading.
• The motion of a body when a gravitational field is acting on the body.

next-v function

• The physical quantity that tells us if the object is speeding up or slowing down. It's a vector
• In the same fashion as next-x, the next-v represents the function to calculate the next velocity in our computational models. It consumes the current velocity to produce the velocity at the next clock reading.
• It is a technique to estimate the slope of a tangent line on a specific point (or moment in time), using other lines that intersect the position-time graph at equidistant points to the point analyzed. It's used to estimate the instantaneous velocity at that point.
• It is a particular case of uniform (constant) acceleration in which the value of acceleration is constant and equal to the average acceleration due to gravity.

next-x-bottom (Pace Car)

• Indicates how much the velocity changed each second. Its units are m/s/s or m/s^2 (meters over second square).
• #Consumes current position and current velocity and produces the next position using the average velocity formula: next-x-bottom: x + (((v + next-v(v)) / 2) * delta-t) [careful with the parenthesis]
• Acceleration
• On Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s/s. On the Moon is 1.62 m/s/s. On Jupiter is 24.79 m/s/s.

Position vs time graph

• The displacement of an object in that time interval.
• Graph with time data on the horizontal axis and position data on the vertical axis.
• The initial velocity of an object (v with a subscript zero)
• The branch of Physics studying how things move without analyzing what caused the motion.
