Calculations based on equation of motion velocity-time

Equation of motion : velocity-time

This equation of motion are valid only when acceleration is constant and motion is constrained to a straight line.

The relation between velocity and time is a simple one during uniformly accelerated, straight-line motion. The longer the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity. Change in velocity is directly proportional to time when acceleration is constant. If velocity increases by a certain amount in a certain time, it should increase by twice that amount in twice the time. If an object already started with a certain velocity, then its new velocity would be the old velocity plus this change.

Derivation:

Equation of acceleration

\[a = \frac{\bigtriangleup V}{\bigtriangleup t} \]

Expand Δv to v − v0 and condense Δt to t.

\[a = \frac{v - v_{0}}{t} \]

Then solve for v as a function of t.

\[v = v_{0} + at \]
