The rest: x o, v and t o are constants, numbers if you will, and if you are lucky you might X and t are variables, if those aren´t around, you are screwed there´s no kinetic equation.

Let me show you an example of the URM or MRU model: Write x and t in any way you want but the expression MUST have a cross and a te If it doesn´t it might as well be anything but a kinematic equation. DO NOT REPLACE THEM for any numbers or sybmols or even money. If you are asked to write a kinematic equation, you have to write an expression wich includes x and t ( x standing for distance and t for time).

Note: this same exercise is solved again, under different conditions: relative motion. There are still other interesting details to consider with these graphs: go ahead, look for them… discuss what you know about this movement with them. The shaded area shows an important fact… which one? How much are those areas? Does it mean anything that one of the areas is above the time axis, while the other one sits below it? The black ram, from the moment he takes off until he crashes, increases his speed… but reduces his velocity. Take a look at the velocities graph which ram is always moving with positive velocity? Which one has always negative velocities? (A parabola without any concavity is not a parable, but a straight line. A parabola with a negative concavity (sad) represents a negative acceleration. A parabola with a positive concavity (smiley) represents a positive acceleration. Notice how I set them up: in columns, always in the same order, and with a same time scale, some call this way “in tandem”. Si querés conocer al carnero blanco tendrás que resolver este mismo ejercicio desde una nueva perspectiva: abajo tenés la instrucción.Īnd at last, the graphs. You equal the second terms of equations and įrom there, we solve for t e, and we are left withĮste es el carnero negro (antes de la colisión, claro está). Oh well, since you insist… after all, this is why No me salen exists. If you have followed through the process so far, I´ll advise you to stop reading now, and try to solve this without any help, because what is left for us isn´t physics: it´s algebra given that there are 7583 different ways to solve this, and only one way to learn it: practicing. I knew it all along: we have fallen into a system with as many equations as unknown variables (4x4), in which these unknown variables are the answers to our exercise. These equations, on the other hand, are specific for the instant we are interested in. These are the equations that describe THE WHOLE situation proposed in this exercise.Īnd now, we simply use them! In other words, we ask these equations to talk about the position we are interested in: the collision point. In order to find them, we´ll just need to replace the constants in the general equations ( t o, x o, v oy a) with the initial constants of each ram. How many are they? Two for the black one, two for the white one, for a total of four.

Let´s write down the equations that describe the motions of both rams.

X = x o + v o ( t – t o ) + ½ a ( t – t o )² It´ll be of your own best interest to have the kinematic equations for accelerated motion at hand, since we´re about to make use of them: Take a look at the sign of the black ram´s acceleration: how would it have changed, had the chosen RS (Reference System) been set with an opposite sense? And, in that case, what would have been of the white ram´s acceleration? (This is an original NO ME SALEN drawing, nice, huh?) Let´s begin by representing the situation:

Outline the correspondent graphs for position and velocity as a function of time.Ī horny problem indeed! Let´s not give in to fear, though: our kinematic tools are so powerful that no exercise will stand a chance. Considering constant accelerations of 1,6 m/s ² y 1,4 m/s ²respectively, determine the position in which their collision takes place, and the speed of each ram at that instant. In a given moment, both begin running towards each other. NMS c3.42 - Two rams (a white and a black one) stand in front of each other, at a rest position, 24 m apart.
