Variable Acceleration; Integral Calculus
Deriving the kinematic equations through integration:
For constant acceleration,

Velocity does not need to be constant
Graphical Analysis and Numerical Integration
Similarly, the velocity may be written as the area under the a-t curve.
However, if the velocity or acceleration is not integrable, or is known only graphically, numerical integration may be used instead.

Order doesn’t matter
We add vectors by drawing them “tip to tail ”

Addition of Vectors—Graphical Methods
The parallelogram method may also be used; here again the vectors must be tail-to-tip.
Multiplication of a Vector by a Scalar
A vector can be multiplied by a scalar c; the result is a vector c that has the same direction but a magnitude cV. If c is negative, the resultant vector points in the opposite direction.

Vector Addition: Components
If the components are perpendicular, they can be found using trigonometric functions.

• We don’t always carry around a ruler and a protractor, and our result isn’t always very precise even when we do. In this course we will use components to add vectors.
• However, you should still always draw the vector addition to help you visualize the situation.
• What are components here?

Unit vectors have magnitude 1.
Using unit vectors, any vector can be written in terms of its components:
Adding Vectors by Components
Example 3-2: Mail carrier’s displacement.
A rural mail carrier leaves the post office and drives 22.0 km in a northerly direction. She then drives in a direction 60.0° south of east for 47.0 km. What is her displacement from the post office?
