Car's motion description (Figure 13)

The car starts at 125.0 m east, moves towards the origin, reaching it in 5.0 seconds. It then continues moving eastward.

Average velocity calculation

Average velocity is calculated as the change in position divided by the change in time.

Equation of motion (Position vs. Time)

The equation x = vt + xi describes the position (x) of an object with a constant velocity (v) over time (t), starting at an initial position (xi).

Calculating position at a specific time

To find the position at a specific time, substitute the known values of velocity, initial position, and time into the equation: x = vt + xi.

Free Fall Equation (Position)

The equation y = 𝑦0 + 𝑣i 𝑡 − 1/2 𝑔 𝑡 2 describes the position (y) of an object in free fall. It takes into account the initial position (𝑦0), initial velocity (𝑣i), time (t), and acceleration due to gravity (g).

Free Fall Equation (Velocity)

The equation 𝑣f = 𝑣i − 𝑔∆𝑡 relates the final velocity (𝑣f) of an object in free fall to its initial velocity (𝑣i), acceleration due to gravity (g), and the change in time (∆𝑡).

Finding Initial Velocity (𝑣i)

To find the initial velocity (𝑣i) of an object in free fall, you need to know its position (y), final velocity (𝑣f), change in time (∆𝑡), and acceleration due to gravity (g). These values can be plugged into the free fall equations to solve for 𝑣i.

Calculating Time of Flight (𝑡hang)

The time an object spends in free fall from a certain height until it returns to the same height is called the time of flight (𝑡hang). It can be calculated by using the free fall equations and information about the object's initial velocity, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

Free Fall Bounces

When an object bounces after free fall, it experiences a new initial velocity after each bounce. This new initial velocity is determined by the coefficients of restitution and can be used in the free fall equations to analyze the object's motion after each bounce.
