*to figure this out do you not use this equation? V^2 =Vo^2+ 2a(X-Xo)* a=9.8m/s, V=3.25s, initial V=0, X=?
Motion in one dimension refers to the movement of an object along a straight line, such as a car driving on a straight road or a ball rolling down a ramp. It is also known as linear motion.
The key components of motion in one dimension are displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Displacement is the change in position of an object, velocity is the rate of change of displacement, and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
Motion in one dimension can be represented graphically using a position-time graph, which shows the change in an object's position over time. Alternatively, a velocity-time graph can also be used, which shows the change in an object's velocity over time.
Average velocity is the total displacement of an object divided by the total time taken, while instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at a specific moment in time. Average velocity gives an overall picture of an object's motion, while instantaneous velocity provides information about its motion at a specific point in time.
Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity. If an object has a constant acceleration, its velocity will change by the same amount in each unit of time. This can result in either a constant increase or decrease in speed, or a change in direction of motion. If an object has zero acceleration, it will maintain a constant velocity.
