Non-Uniform Acceleration

01Non-Uniform Acceleration

Functions of Time

Describe displacement, velocity and acceleration using functions with a stated time domain.

A formula is a model over an interval

In one-dimensional motion, position $x(t)$ , velocity $v(t)$ and acceleration $a(t)$ may vary with time. State the time units, the coordinate’s positive direction and the interval on which the model applies.

v(t)=\frac{dx}{dt},\qquad a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}

If $x(0)$ is not zero, displacement from the starting point is $x(t)-x(0)$ . Speed is $|v(t)|$ . SUVAT applies only when the acceleration function is constant over the interval.

Differentiate once for velocity, twice for acceleration

Using Integration

Each integration needs its own constant

v(t_2)-v(t_1)=\int_{t_1}^{t_2}a(t)\,dt

x(t_2)-x(t_1)=\int_{t_1}^{t_2}v(t)\,dt
