We're at the Porsche test track to learn all about acceleration. Unit 2 Segment C: Acceleration and Kinematic Equations We're back at the Porsche test track to learn all about acceleration ...

Note: Kinematic Equations are only applicable at a constant acceleration or a constant speed, and we cannot use them if either of the two is changing. How do you select and use a kinematic equation?

This means that the (0.0506) in front of x 2 in the quadratic fit must be equal to the (1/2)a term in the kinematic equation giving an acceleration of 0.1012 m/s 2.

Then, from the above path kinematics equation for acceleration, we know that the rate of change of speed is simply the projection of the acceleration onto the direction tangent to the path. The ...

If the speed of P is CONSTANT, then the angle theta is equal to 90 degrees. If the speed of P is DECREASING, then the angle theta is greater than 90 degrees. The normal component of acceleration is ...
