do any of the normal kinematic equations still hold?
Constant acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time that remains constant. It is important in problem-solving as it allows us to use equations and formulas to accurately predict the motion of an object.
In cases where the acceleration is not constant, we use more advanced techniques like calculus to solve the problem. We may also need to use real-life data and observations to accurately model the motion of the object.
Some examples include objects moving with air resistance, objects experiencing a changing gravitational force, and objects moving in a circular motion.
The absence of constant acceleration can cause the velocity and acceleration of an object to change over time. This can result in non-uniform motion and make it more challenging to predict the exact position and velocity of the object at any given time.
Yes, there are many real-life scenarios where constant acceleration is not present. For example, when a car is braking, it experiences a changing acceleration due to the friction between the wheels and the road. Another example is when a rocket is launching, it experiences a changing acceleration due to the changing force of gravity as it moves further away from the Earth.
