Question

Can the equations of kinematics be used when the acceleration varies with time?If not,what from would these equations take?

Open in App
Solution

Kinematics equations can be used only when the acceleration of the body is constant.
In case of variable accelerations, we should used the integration approach.
Equations used are, a=dvdt Or a=vdvdx
Integrate these equations to get the velocity as function of time and displacement, respectively.
