Graphical Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM) Example Problem

Again with the graphs? Yes. Absolutely Yes. Graphs are such an important part of any science, especially physics. The more you work with graphs, the more you will understand them. Here we combine graphs and uniformly accelerated motion. Enjoy. 0:00 Intro 0:29 Reading the Problem 1:02 How do we know it is UAM from the graph? 1:26 Two different, equivalent equations for acceleration 2:41 Finding acceleration 3:23 Graphing acceleration vs. time 3:44 The general shape of the position vs. time graph 4:53 Determining specific points on the position vs. time graph 6:06 Graphing position vs. time 6:58 The Review Want Lecture Notes? http://www.flippingphysics.com/graphical-uam-example.html Next Video: Experimentally Graphing Uniformly Accelerated Motion http://www.flippingphysics.com/measuring-uam.html Previous Video: Understanding Instantaneous and Average Velocity using a Graph http://www.flippingphysics.com/instantaneous-and-average-velocity.html Correction: 5:05 The equation has a plus not a minus in it: Δx = 1/2 ( Vf + Vi ) Δt
