ABSTRACT
The analysis of rectilinear or straight-line motion with constant or uni form acceleration is relatively common in the study of kinematics . To establish some basic relationships, let us consider a body moving with uniform acceleration where the velocity changes from an initial value to a final value after some time, while completing some distance . Let
s = distance completed , ft
VI = initial velocity, ft / sec
Vz = final velocity, ft / sec
a = acceleration, ft l secz
t = time, sec
By definition,
Distance = average velocity x time
VI + Vz
After 2 sec , initial velocity is increased to Vt + 2a .
