    Unit 2 Outline: Motion with a Constant Acceleration

    Video Questions: (Answer the following questions while watching the videos at
    aplusphysics.com on Kinematic equations and Freefall).

    Kinematic Equations Video

    1) Do the kinematic equations apply to motion with a constant velocity, constant


    acceleration or both?
    2) List the five kinematic variables, define each and state what units are used to measure
    each. Are these quantities instantaneous or average values?
    3) Write the three kinematic equations according to the video. For each equation state
    what kinematic variable is missing. List the 5 problem solving steps according to the
    video.
    4) Show the above steps applied to the horizontal and vertical motion sample problems.
    5) Derive the fourth kinematic equation by solving the vf=v0+at equation for acceleration
    and then plugging it into the x=vot +1/2 at2 equation and solving for displacement. It is
    usually quicker to use this equation to solve kinematic problems with no acceleration
    given.

    Extra Credit: There is a fifth kinematic equation that has no initial velocity in it. Use the
    other kinematic equations to derive it.

    Freefall Video

    6) When is an object considered to be in freefall? Are we considering air resistance in our


    current calculations? What is the numerical value for the acceleration of gravity near
    the surface of the Earth? How is this related to the gravitational field strength of the
    Earth? How does the gravitational field strength vary with the distance the object is
    from the center of the Earth?
    7) Compare the directions of the acceleration and instantaneous velocity for an object
    starting at rest and then undergoing freefall. How far will an object starting at rest fall
    after 8 seconds?
    8) Compare the directions of the initial velocity and acceleration for an object thrown
    upward. What are the acceleration and instantaneous velocity at the top for the object
    thrown upward? Describe the symmetry of the object’s motion.
    9) A basketball player jumps up such that she is in the air for one second. What maximum
    height did she reach?
    10) What is the maximum height of a 0.25 kg baseball thrown upward with a speed of 20
    m/s?
