Study Notes
Concept 1: Describing Motion
- Objectives: Describe the motion of objects in graphs, and analyze and explain distance vs. time graphs.
- Vocabulary: Motion, reference point, distance, displacement, speed, average speed, instantaneous speed, velocity.
- Practice problems include calculations involving distance, time, and speed for various scenarios (e.g., cross-country runners, family travels).
Concept 2: Acceleration
- Objectives: Analyze and explain velocity vs. time graphs, and explain different ways an object can accelerate.
- Vocabulary: Acceleration
- Practice problems include calculating acceleration, given time and speed change (e.g., airplane, puppy).
- Graphs: The notes mention sketching distance vs. time graphs (various scenarios like no movement, constant speed, speeding up, slowing down), and velocity vs. time graphs (different movement patterns).
Concept 3: Newton's Laws
- Objectives: Rank objects by inertia and momentum, identifying and explaining laws of motion in scenarios, calculating net force and weight.
- Vocabulary: Force, net force, inertia, friction, air resistance, law of universal gravitation, weight, law of conservation of momentum.
- Practice problems include analyzing forces (balanced and unbalanced), explaining Newton's Laws (with examples), differentiating friction types, illustrating terminal velocity, and calculating net force, mass, and momentum.
