Kinematics

Motion in One Direction

BY THE END OF THIS UNIT, you should be able to:

*Explain the difference between a vector and a scalar and be able to identify our KEY words as vector or scalar.

*Given a graph of displacement, velocity or acceleration vs time, understand what information can be determined from the slope and/or area under the graph.

*Given x vs. t graph

  • describe the motion of the object and draw the corresponding v vs. t graph.

  • draw a motion map for the object.

  • determine the average velocity of the object.

  • write the mathematical representation that describes the motion.

*Given v vs. t graph,

  • describe the motion of the object and draw the corresponding x vs. t graph.

  • determine the displacement of the object.

  • draw a motion map for the object.

  • write a mathematical representation to describe the motion.

*Given a vs. t graph,

  • describe the velocity of the object and draw the corresponding v vs. t graph.

  • describe the displacement of the object.

Motion Maps & Position vs. Time worksheet

Uniform acceleration lab!

Positive Physics 2.1 - after filling in the table, GRAPH the data on a sheet of graph paper. Don’t have graph paper? It can be easily printed from the internet (click here). Bring graphed data to class!

Positive Physics 1.8 & 1.9 wait on this homework

Positive Physics 2.6 & 2.7

Finish (graph!) Uniform acceleration lab!

(I did not know I’d be out this week (but I will)). Feel free to email me with questions and/or concerns. There will still be a quiz on Thursday/Friday.

You should have received an email regarding Physics Classroom. If you have not yet created an account, please do so. You have an assignment waiting for you….Distance vs. Displacement.

Block 4, your code is gosaints4

Block 5, your code is gosaints5.

In Physics Classroom please complete the assigned Distance vs. Displacement Concept Builder.

Then 1.2 & 1.3 in Positive Physics. Watch the lesson video first.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to email me.

PS - I’ve been bragging to my mom about how great my kiddos (y’all) are this year. :)

Here is the key to the worksheet you (hopefully) completed on Monday.

Quiz on motion maps, velocity-time graphs and position-time graphs.

You will have the entire block to complete this quiz so please remember to bring something to QUIETLY study or read if you finish early.
