3. Kinematic Equations Displacement Formula 2
d = t(vi + vf)/2
d = Displacement
vi = initial velocity
vf = final velocity
t = time
3
4. Final Velocity Formula 1
vf = vi + at
a = acceleration
vi = initial velocity
vf = final velocity
t = time
4
5. Final Velocity Formula 2
vf
2 = vi
2 + 2ad
a = acceleration
vi = initial velocity
vf = final velocity
d = displacement

6. Kinematic Equation Strategy
1. List your known variables
2. Figure out which of the 4 equations can solve for your
unknown variable the easiest
3. Note: Sometimes, you need to rearrange one of the 4
kinematics to solve for your unknown variable

7. Kinematic Equations Strategy Action
d = t(vi + vf)/2
d = Displacement, vi = initial velocity, vf = final velocity, t =
time
We are given vi, vf, and d. The problem asks for time
The fastest way to solve this would be to use this
displacement equation by solving for t. Ignore acceleration.
