The Kinematic Formulas

Last week we listened to the start of a new idea. We expanded on motion and are now talking about up and down → vertical motion.

We spent a lot of time getting accustomed to objects moving - where they are, how fast they move, what direction that movement is in

And now we’re applying it to objects that are withstanding the force of gravity.

Last week I gave you two equations → the first one was simple. It says v is equal to Vo (initial velocity) + a times t. (acceleration times time)

The other formula was a little more complicated.

The formula says position equals initial position + initial velocity times time plus ½ acceleration times time squared

Y = Yo + vo t + ½ a t^2

To truly use these formulas and to do so successfully, is to understand vertical motion.

Vertical motion is an object moving up or down. I want you to imagine an apple falling from a tree when we are talking about an object falling down. I want you to imagine one of those stomp rockets where you set a little foam rocket on a launcher, attached to a pump that you step on and then the rocket goes up when you stomp. Imagine that rocket when we are talking about an object launching up.

Forces

So what is a force?A force is really just a push or a pull on an object. It occurs when two objects interact with each other. Forces can be contact forces, meaning that the objects have to actually to...

Newton's Laws

Let’s forget the math today and focus on Newton’s Laws.Newton was a mathematician and physicist born in the 1600s. He existed, taught and studied well before many of our modern discoveries had been ma...

Projectile Motion - Part 2

However, we don’t always just move objects at a parallel to the ground. More often than not, we move them at an angle. Think about your field goal kickers on a football field or a missile being launch...

What Goes Up Must Come Down

The past few weeks we have moved on from talking about objects moving horizontally, back and forth, and started to talk about objects that move vertically, up and downWe started off by thinking about ...

Launching Upward

An important thing to keep in mind as we discuss upward vertical motion → we are talking about objects launching straight up into the air. Ideally, without wind or disproportionate weight or any other...
