UNIT 1
​KINEMATICS

Unit 1 Class Notes and Power Point

​Learning Targets
1.01A - Difference between position, distance, and displacement (change in position)
1.02A - Interpret/draw position vs. time graphs in terms of direction of motion, starting position speeding up/slowing down/constant velocity
1.03A - Interpret/draw velocity vs. time graphs in terms of direction of motion, starting position, speeding up/slowing down/constant velocity
1.04B - Calculate the average velocity/speed, or estimate the instantaneous velocity/speed, from a position-time graph for an object over a specified time
              interval
1.05B - Use a velocity-time graph to determine acceleration and starting velocity and distinguish the concepts of velocity and acceleration
1.06B - Calculate the distance an object has traveled and its change in position from a velocity-time graph
1.07C - Connect representations of an accelerating object, including x-t graphs, v-t graphs, and a-t graphs, strobe diagrams/motion maps, and written
              descriptions for objects moving in the positive or negative direction
1.08C - Solve problems using the constant velocity and uniform acceleration models

CONTENTS
​Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. 
  • Does NOT include a direction
Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position
  • ​DOES include a direction
