3
Position Defined in terms of a frame of reference –One dimensional, so generally the x- or y- axis
4
Displacements
5
Distance Distance may be, but is not necessarily, the magnitude of the displacement Blue line shows the distance Red line shows the displacement
6
Velocity and Speed It takes time for an object to undergo a displacement The average velocity is rate at which the displacement occurs generally use a time interval, so let t i = 0 Speed is a scalar quantity –same units as velocity –total distance / total time May be, but is not necessarily, the magnitude of the velocity
7
Instantaneous Velocity The limit of the average velocity as the time interval becomes infinitesimally short, or as the time interval approaches zero The instantaneous velocity indicates what is happening at every point of time

9
Acceleration Changing velocity (non-uniform) means an acceleration is present Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity Units are m/s² (SI), cm/s² (cgs), and ft/s² (US Cust)

Vector Quantities Vector quantities need both magnitude (size) and direction to completely describe them –Represented by an arrow, the length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the vector –Head of the arrow represents the direction –Generally printed in bold face type Scalar Quantities Scalar quantities are completely described by magnitude only
