    Velocity The word‚ velocity‚ originates from the Latin word‚ vēlōcitās‚ meaning swiftness or speed. Velocity is one of the basic words used in mathematics and physics and forms the basis for the more important formulae used in high level study of these subjects. According to the dictionary‚ the definition of velocity is the rate of change of position of an object. In simple words‚ velocity means the distance travelled by an object over some time divided by the time taken by the object to travel

    Laboratory – Terminal Velocity Introduction: Consider dropping a piece paper and a brick from the same height. Although in theory they should both strike the ground at the same time; in practice the brick will always strike the ground first. The reason is because of air resistance. As the paper falls to the ground air resistance is pushing the paper up‚ this slows the acceleration of the paper. It is known that as the velocity of an object increases the air resistance acting on the object

    as plotting of the data on the graph. The velocity versus time graph came out to be a quadratic model‚ having a number of curves. Since this is based off of original measurements‚ any mistakes in measuring would have been multiplied when the velocity was calculated‚ so human error could be prevalent here as well. Conclusion Our hypothesis was only partially supported. The position versus time graph was a linear model‚ as predicted‚ but the velocity versus time graph was quadratic‚ not supporting

    the away-from-the-detector direction -- is downward. Draw the position‚ velocity‚ and acceleration graphs. Since moving downward is a positive direction‚ is the velocity positive when the ball falls‚ 0 when it hits the ground‚ and then negative when it moves up? Is the accerlation positive (9.8) as the ball falls‚ very positive when it hits the ground‚ and then neg (almost -9.8) when it moves up? Keep in mind that the problem says: the ball bounces back up ALMOST to its initial height. Also‚ please

    SAMPLE PROBLEMS: 111-SET #1 VECTOR ADDITION‚ SUBTRACTION 01-1 1). A man is able to row a boat at 3 mph in still water. If he rows his boat pointed straight across a river with a current of 4 mph‚ what is his net velocity? If the river is 0.5 miles wide‚ at what point will he land on the other side? Solution: The first step in problem solving is to identify the problem type. In this problem we are asked for a ‘net velocity.’ Since velocities behave as vectors‚ then we have a vector addition

    line along a road. It’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equation‚ where and. Calculate the velocity of the car for each of the time given: (a) t = 2.00s; (b) t = 4.00s; (c) What will be the time when the acceleration is equal to zero? Solution: By getting the derivative of the distance as a function of time we can get the velocity as a function of time.   Substitute the values of α and β   a) Given t = 2.00s b)
