Mr. Ant, standing in an elevator,
moves up 40 m with the
elevator. He then gets out of the
elevator and walks along a
straight hallway for 3 minutes at
a speed 10 meters/minute.

Remember the fundamental kinematics
equations.
Know which quantities each equation has,
and doesn’t have.
Fundamental kinematics equations only
apply for constant velocity.
Use the table of variables – unique to 5S,
and very useful!

Step 1: Write out all five variables in a table.
Fill in known values, put “?” next to
unknown values.
Step 2: If 3 or more known values, continue
to Step 3. Otherwise, check your work.
Step 3: Choose the equation that has all of
the knowns and the desired unknown. Solve.
Step 4: Put the correct units on your answer.

Acceleration due to gravity is a = -10 m/s2
when gravity is the only force on the object.
The horizontal motion of an object will NOT
affect its fall – time to fall depends only on
the vertical position/motion.

Break the velocity into vector components.
We can work with the vector components separately
because they are independent of each other.
• The y-component of velocity, vy, equals v(sin θ).
• The x-component of velocity, vx, equals v(cos θ).
• Horizontal velocity is constant.
• Vertical acceleration is g, directed downward.
• Time is the variable that is the same for x and y.

The slope of a position–time graph at any
point is the velocity of the object at that
point in time.
The slope of a velocity–time graph at any
point is the acceleration of the object at that
point in time.
The area under a velocity–time graph
between two times is the displacement of
the object during that time interval.

The graph shows the speed of a car traveling in
a straight line as a function of time.
The value of Vc is 3.80 m/s and the value of Vd
is 5.30 m/s. Calculate the distance traveled by
the car from a time of 1.20 to 5.20 seconds.
Super Challenge Problem

A student walks into an elevator at rest on the bottom
floor of a building with 4 stories. The elevator then
accelerates upward with an unknown constant
acceleration a during a time interval Δt1 = t, moves at a
constant velocity for Δt2 = 6t, and then decelerates at the
same magnitude a for time interval Δt3 = t. If the
elevator rises a total of h meters, what is the magnitude
of the acceleration a given time t and height h?
