The Framing Routine The first main topic is… Distance and Displacement What are some important details about this topic? Distance is a measure of how far something has traveled. Displacement is measure of how far something is from its original starting position. Units for distance and displacement are… Distance is a scalar quantity…which means that a direction IS NOT necessary. Meters…Kilometers…Feet…Miles… Displacement is a vector quantity…which means that a direction IS necessary. Physics Phrog

The Framing Routine The first main topic is… Distance and Displacement What are some important details about this topic? If motion is a single direction, these terms are often used interchangeably. _______________________________________ Physics Phrog

The Framing Routine The third main topic is… Acceleration and Gravity What are some important details about this topic? Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. Acceleration is a vector quantity…direction is important. When an object increases velocity, it accelerates. When an object decreases velocity, it decelerates. Units for acceleration are… Meters/second 2 …feet/second 2 … The acceleration due to gravity is called “g”. The value of g on Earth is…9.8 m/s 2 or 32ft/s 2. Physics Phrog

The Framing Routine The third main topic is… Acceleration and Gravity What are some important details about this topic? When an object is only being acted on by gravity, it is said to be in free-fall. In the absence of gravity, all objects are accelerated at the same rate. Equations that relate distance, velocity, and acceleration include: Physics Phrog
