Global) – Solutions Manual – Giancoli
kinematics - answer-the description of how objects move
reference frame - answer-the point at which the vector is measured from for comparison
displacement - answer-the change in position of an object
average velocity - answer-displacement/time
instantaneous velocity - answer-same as instantaneous speed; average velocity taken over an
infinitesimally short time interval
average acceleration - answer-change of velocity per unit of time (change in velocity over time)
instantaneous acceleration - answer-the average acceleration take on over an infinitesimally
short time
acceleration due to gravity - answer-g=9.8m/s^2
Chapter 2 Formulas - answer-v=v0+at
x=x0+v0t+1/2at^2
v^2=v0^2+2a(x-x0)
