Study Notes
Acceleration and Free Fall and Projectile Motion
-
Topics covered include acceleration, velocity, and projectile motion.
-
The review section covers distance, displacement, scalar and vector quantities, speed and velocity in linear motion, and resultant vectors.
-
Key concepts in the presentation include the definition of a vector quantity
-
A vector quantity is any quantity in physics that has both magnitude and direction.
-
The length and direction of a vector should be drawn to a reasonable scale size to represent its magnitude.
-
When two vectors are perpendicular, the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the resultant vector.
-
Calculations for acceleration and displacement, including unit conversions, are provided in the presentation.
-
Example problems involve a car accelerating, an object dropped from a height, and a ball thrown vertically downwards.
-
Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UAM) is discussed, including formulas and example problems.
-
