2
I can diagram motion by using motion diagrams, particle models, and coordinate systems
3
How can you tell something has moved? What does this mean: Motion is relative.
4
Series of images showing the positions of a moving object at equal time intervals Simplified version of a motion diagram in which the object in motion is replaced by a series of single points
5
1. Draw a motion diagram of a runner Label the time in each picture 3. What are the two components used to define motion? 2. Draw a particle model of a bird flying 4. Give three examples of straight- line motion.
6
I can determine what measurements are vectors and which are scalars.
7
Coordinate System- tells you the location of the zero point of the variable you are studying and the direction in which the values of the variable increase
8
Origin- the point at which both variables have the value zero Position- the separation between an object and the origin Distance- how far the object is from the origin
9
Have both magnitude and direction › Examples: › 10 books to the left › 25 students back › 12 km/h west Only has magnitude › Examples: › 10 books › 25 students › 12 km/h
10
A student travels south 20.0 meters and east 14.0 meters. What is the distance from his origin to final location “as the crow flies”? Use skills learned in Algebra!
13
Time Interval- difference between two times › Δt= t f -t i › Final Time minus Initial Time Displacement- Difference between origin and final location › Δ d= d f -d i › Final Position minus Initial Position
14
I can find the change in time and displacement and plot it on a position- time graph to determine velocity.
19
I can use equations to solve for average and instantaneous velocity.
20
Average Velocity › v=Δd/Δt › Average velocity is defined as the change in position, divided by the time during which the change occurred. › Velocity vs Speed
21
Instantaneous Velocity- the speed and direction of an object at a particular instant
22
Read pages 46-47 Average Velocity on Motion Diagrams. Write a one sentence summary as an exit slip for today!
