First, Let’s define some important terms:

•Position•Distance•Displacement•Speed•Average velocity•Instantaneous velocity•Average Acceleration•Instantaneous Acceleration

Page 3: Introduction to Motion

Position: Where it is.

Distance: path length in meters; a scalar

Displacement: final position minus initial position, in meters.

Displacement is a VECTOR!

0x x x

r = 1 m distance = 2 m x= 0 m

Page 4: Introduction to Motion

Speed: distance divided by total time, in m/s

Average velocity: displacement divided by total time, in m/s.

Velocity is a VECTOR!

A horse canters away from its trainer in a straight line, moving 150 m away in 14 s. It then turns abruptly and gallops halfway back in 4.5 s. Calculate

a) its average speed for the entire trip andb) its average velocity for the entire trip.

Use “away from the trainer” as the positive direction.

Page 6: Introduction to Motion

Instantaneous velocity: velocity at one point in time, in m/s.

It is a VECTOR!

Average Acceleration: rate of change of velocity, in m/s2.

It is a VECTOR!

Instantaneous Acceleration: acceleration at one point in time, in m/s2.

Also a VECTOR!

Summarize!

Review your notes for three minutes and mark the key ideas from the discussion. Then, trade with a partner to see if you have marked the same things.
