Motion Table of Contents Describing Motion Speed and Velocity Acceleration
Describing Motion Nicolaus Copernicus In 1543 Copernicus published On the Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres, a book based on his 30-year study of the solar system.
Speed and Velocity Use the data from all three legs to solve for each triathlete’s average speed.
Speed and Velocity Constant Speed What is the jogger's speed?
Speed and Velocity Changing Speed The graph shows how the speed of a jogger varies during her second day of training. What are the rise, the run, and the slope for each segment of the graph?
Acceleration Acceleration The airplane is accelerating at a rate of 8 m/s2. Determine the speed of the airplane at 4.0 s and 5.0 s. 0 m/s 8 m/s 16 m/s 24 m/s
Acceleration Deceleration The airplane touches down with a speed of 70 m/s. It decelerates at a rate of -5 m/s². Determine its speed after each second of its deceleration.
Acceleration Speed-Versus-Time Graph Use the time and speed data in the table to plot a line graph. Plot time on the horizontal axis. Plot speed on the vertical axis. What would be a good title for the graph?
Acceleration Distance-Versus-Time Graph Use the time and distance data in the table to plot a line graph. Plot time on the horizontal axis. Plot distance on the vertical axis. What would be a good title for the graph?
