Average Speed
savg = d tWhere:
savg = rate (speed)d = distancet = elapsed time

Average Velocity
vavg = ∆x ∆tWhere:vavg = average velocity
∆x = displacement (x2-x1)
∆t = change in time(t2-t1)

Velocity vs SpeedAverage speed is always positive.
Average velocity can be positive or negative depending direction.
Absolute value of velocity can be used for speed if the object is not changing direction.

Acceleration•A change in velocity is called acceleration.
•Acceleration can be• speeding up• slowing down• changing direction
![Page 21: Welcome to AP Physics B Ms. Bridwell Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649ee55503460f94bf4deb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Uniformly Accelerated Motion
In Physics B, we will generally assume that acceleration is constant.
With this assumption we are free to use this equation:
a = ∆v ∆t
![Page 22: Welcome to AP Physics B Ms. Bridwell Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649ee55503460f94bf4deb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Units of Acceleration
The SI unit for acceleration is m/s2.
![Page 23: Welcome to AP Physics B Ms. Bridwell Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649ee55503460f94bf4deb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sign of Acceleration
Acceleration can be positive or negative.The sign indicates direction (vector).
![Page 24: Welcome to AP Physics B Ms. Bridwell Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649ee55503460f94bf4deb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
General RuleIf the sign of the velocity and
the sign of the acceleration is the same, the object speeds up.
If the sign of the velocity and the sign of the acceleration are different, the object slows down.

The tangent touches the curve at one point. Its slope gives the instantaneous velocity at that point.
Another tangent. Another instantaneous velocity!

Free Fall
Occurs when an object falls unimpeded (neglecting air resistance).
Gravity accelerates the object toward the earth.
![Page 33: Welcome to AP Physics B Ms. Bridwell Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649ee55503460f94bf4deb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Acceleration due to gravity
g = 9.8 m/s2 downward. a = -g if up is positive. acceleration is down when ball is
thrown up EVERYWHERE in the balls flight.
The AP exam allows you to substitute 10 m/s2 for 9.8 m/s2.
![Page 34: Welcome to AP Physics B Ms. Bridwell Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649ee55503460f94bf4deb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Summary
v = vo - gt
x = xo + vot - 1/2 gt2
v2 = vo2 – 2g(∆x)
![Page 35: Welcome to AP Physics B Ms. Bridwell Spring 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649ee55503460f94bf4deb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Symmetry
When something is thrown upward and returns to the thrower, this is very symmetric.
The object spends half its time traveling up; half traveling down.
Velocity when it returns to the ground is the opposite of the velocity it was thrown upward with.
Acceleration is –9.8 m/s2 everywhere!
