1-D Motion Review
Vectors Observing motion, we have three vectors: Displacement Velocity Acceleration
Vectors Displacement measures Δx, or change in position Velocity measures displacement over time, Δx/Δt Acceleration measures change in velocity over time Δv/Δt
Vectors Vectors are straight lines. Regardless of the route taken between two points, the vector is a straight line between them.
Changing Vectors Vectors have magnitude (a number) and direction (an angle). If an object starts moving in a different direction, the vector has changed. Even if the magnitude of velocity stays constant, if it is going in a different direction, the object accelerated.
