CONCEPTS AT A GLANCE The equations of kinematics for constant acceleration are obtained by combining the concepts of displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Whenever the drivers maintained a constant acceleration during the race, the equations of kinematics could have been used to calculate the displacement and velocity of these cars as a function of time.
