PRACTICE Complete the following Worksheets “Analyzing Graphs of Motion without Numbers” “Acceleration and Speed-Time Graphs”
VOCABULARY REVIEW Acceleration – the change in velocity per unit time; a = Δv/Δt; unit: m/s/s
VOCABULARY REVIEW Speed – the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed; speed is a scalar quantity, it has no direction v = Δd/Δt; unit: m/s Velocity – the speed in a given direction; displacement divided by the time interval; v = Δd/Δt; unit: m/s
VECTOR VS. SCALAR Vector – a quantity that has both magnitude (size/amount) and direction Scalar – a quantity that has magnitude (size/amount) but no direction
