Introduction
1-D motion
|
Describe the motion in words. Compare constant velocity and constant acceleration motion using motion diagrams. Understand the purpose of a motion diagram. |
|
| position vs. time graphs |
view an animation and predict the shape of the position vs. time graph |
| velocity vs. time graphs | view an animation and predict the shape of the velocity vs. time graph |
| acceleration vs. time graphs | view an animation and predict the shape of the acceleration vs. time graph |
| free-fall | view graphs for a ball in free-fall with negligible air resistance |
| free-fall with air resistance | view graphs of a ball's motion if there is air resistance as the ball falls |
