Ch. 7. Equations of motion (part 1)

How high should the crane be?

Graphs and equations both represent the real world

You're interested in the start and end points

You have an equation for the velocity - but what about the displacement?

See the average velocity on your velocity-time graph

Test your equations by imagining them with different numbers

Calculate the cage's displacement!

You know how high the crane should be!

But now the Dingo needs something more general

A substitution will help

Get rid of the variables you don't want by making substitutions

Continue making substitutions ...

You derived a useful equation for the cage's displacement!

Check your equation using Units

Check your equation by trying out some extreme values

Your equation checks out!

So the Dingo drops the cage ...
