GSaldutti said:Why don't these equations (and the rest in the set) work over long distances?
Vf= V0 + at
D= (1/2)(V0 + Vf)t
D= (V0)(t) + (1/2)(a)(t2)
etc...
Uniformly accelerated motion for short distances is a type of motion in which an object travels in a straight line and its velocity increases or decreases at a constant rate.
Uniformly accelerated motion is different from uniform motion in that the velocity of the object in uniform motion remains constant, while in uniformly accelerated motion, the velocity changes at a constant rate.
The equation for calculating the final velocity in uniformly accelerated motion for short distances is vf = vi + at, where vf is the final velocity, vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
The displacement in uniformly accelerated motion for short distances can be calculated using the equation d = vi*t + 1/2*a*t^2, where d is the displacement, vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
Some real-life examples of uniformly accelerated motion for short distances include a car accelerating from a stop sign, a ball rolling down a hill, and a sprinter running a short distance race.
