Kinematics 09

OPENING QUESTIONS: Compare AND contrast 1d and 2d motion problems.

Also, let's take a gander at this graphic again and review our last question from yesterday:

Check out the slope of the line between 0 & 6 seconds.... what does that tell us about the VELOCITY of that object during that time? How do we know? How can we tell?

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

REVIEW

WORDS FOR TODAY:

  • DISPLACEMENT (distance & direction)
  • Distance
  • VELOCITY (speed & direction or change in displacement/change in time)
  • Speed (change in distance/change in time)
  • INSTANTANEOUS VELOCITY (dx/dt)
  • ACCELERATION (change in velocity/change in time, dv/dt)
  • Derivative (the instantaneous slope of a line/curve at a given point)
  • Integral (the area 'beneath' a line or curve)

CALENDAR: Test on Thursday, Labs due on Friday

What information can we determine from this type of graph?

How would we go about doing that WITHOUT calc...?

How about WITH calc?

Sketch the graph of the displacement vs time for each graph above.

Describe the acceleration of each graph above
