KEY CONNECTIONS
Formulas
S = vt
S = (v₀ + v)t / 2
S = v₀t ± at²/2
S = (v² − v₀²) / (±2a)
Storm = v₀² / (2μg)
NOTATION
Quantities in formulas
- Distance - the length of the space between selected points.
- Speed is the speed and direction of change in body position.
- Time is a quantity characterizing the duration and sequence of events.
- Initial speed - the speed of the body at the selected initial moment.
- Acceleration is the rate of change in the speed of a body.
- Braking distance is the distance covered from the start of braking to stopping.
- Friction coefficient is a characteristic of the resistance to movement of contacting surfaces.
- Gravity acceleration is the acceleration of a body under the influence of gravity without taking into account the resistance of the medium.
