Pythagorean Theorem

Motion Equations
1 average speed (m/s) = distance (m) s=d
time (s) t

2 average velocity (m/s) = displacement (m) v=d

time (s) t

3 acceleration (m/s2) = change in velocity (m/s) a=v

time (s) t

Kinematic Equations for 1-D Motion (Constant a)

4 vf = vi + a t

5 x = ½(vi + vf)t

6 x = vit + ½ a t 2

7 vf 2 = vi2 + 2 a x

For free falling bodies: a = g = (+/-) 9.8 m/sec2 and use y instead of x for
displacement

Work and Energy
14 W = F s (when θ = 0o) 15 W = (F cos θ) s

16 KE = ½ m v2
W = ∆KE = KEf – KEi = ½ m vf2 - ½ m vi2

17 PEgravity= mgh
Wgravity = ∆PE = mg(hi – hf) = mghi– mghf

Total Mechanical Energy:

18 T.E. = KE + PE

Conservation of Mechanical Energy:
