Modeling Linear Motion with Equations

Modeling Motion with Equations

In the first part of this lesson, you will learn how functions can be used to model position and velocity during motion with constant acceleration. You will develop four equations that you will use in the Freefall Practice Problems. In the second part of this lesson, you will use the four kinematics equation to solve problems where velocity changes steadily. Click the player to begin.
