Vector
Instantaneous Velocity ∙ Symbol: v
∙ This has the same formula as the average
velocity
but the time interval is infinitesimally small
∙ Is the velocity at a particular instant of time
∙ It may have the (same, different) value than that of
average velocity.
∙ The magnitude of instantaneous velocity |v| is always
equal to instantaneous speed v.
∙ Symbol: ά Scalar
Average Acceleration ∙ Formula: α ∆ v=v 2−v 1
∆ t=t 2−t 1
∙ is defined as the change in velocity divided by time
taken to make this change.
∙ If the acceleration is zero it means that the velocity Is
velocity of object can be zero or constant.
When the acceleration is negative it means that the
speed of an object is decreasing where the object keeps
slow and slow.

B. An object was thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 16m.s (refer to the figure on the right).
Determine:
1. Velocity at A
2. Acceleration at A
3. Displacement from A to B (or maximum height reach)
4. Velocity at B
5. acceleration at B
6. The time the object reaches B Time from B
to C
7. Time of flight
8. Displacement from B to C
9. Total distance from A to C
10. Velocity at C
1. Velocity at A

When the object is in the air, net force in that will be gravitational force, so acceleration will be due to
gravity only.

H=13.06 m
Thus, the acceleration of the object at point A is equal to g=9.8 m/s 2 in the vertically downward direction
3. Displacement from A to B
v=u+at
0=16− ( 9.8 ) t
t=1.63 second
4. Velocity at B
Point B is the highest point of the trajectory and the direction of the velocity of the object changes at point
B. Thus, the velocity of the object at point B is zero.
5. Acceleration at B
The acceleration of the object at point B is still the same as point A that is equal to g=9.8 m/s 2 in the
downward direction.

Here, h is the maximum height reached by the object, t' is the time from B to C.
Thus, the time from B to C is 1.632 s

Here, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity after application of the breaks, and a is the acceleration
of the car.
The negative sign of the acceleration indicates that the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the
motion of the car.

6. Given:
Velocity of cruiship = 150 mi/hr
Distance travelled before stopping (s)=500 ft
