linear kinematics

• Kinematics= description of motion.
• Factors affecting trajectory:

  • Projection height- difference between take-off and landing position.
  • Projection angle- determines shape of trajectory (45 degrees providing longest distance).
  • Projection velocity- resultant, vertical, and horizontal velocity
• Equations of constant acceleration:

  ·      Based on position, time, velocity, and acceleration. (∆s/∆t)
