Kinematic Equations: View List & Explanations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on kinematic equations, specifically the equations v = v0 + a*t and x = x0 + v*t. Users seek resources for comprehensive lists and explanations of these equations. Two recommended websites are Physics Forums and HyperPhysics, which provide detailed insights into kinematic concepts. A foundational understanding of integral calculus and algebra is essential for deriving these equations when needed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Integral calculus
  • Algebra
  • Understanding of kinematic concepts
  • Basic physics knowledge
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the kinematic equations on HyperPhysics

v = v0 + a*t
x = x0 + v*t

Is there a page or a website where I can view kinematic equations like this which explains them and list them all down.

All you need to know is a little integral calculus and a bit of algebra and you can always figure out a Kinematic equation if you forget. Just let [tex]a[/tex] be constant and start integrating with respect to [tex]t[/tex]! Do that and you can find velocity functions, position functions, so on. That's what I do when I forget.
