Summary of 1D Kinematics

• x(t): contains all information about the motion
• v(t)=dx/dt velocity versus time. We can only re-construct x(t) from v(t) if we are also given the position of the body at one particular time.
• : acceleration versus time. We can only re-construct x(t) if we are also given the velocity at a particular instant and the position at the same or another point in time.

 
• Motion with constant acceleration, analytical results
  • Analysis of inclined Air-track experiment
  • Example of analysis of motion with cst acceleration
