Study Notes
Friction
- Friction is a force acting against the motion of objects
- Friction causes moving objects to decelerate to a stop
- Friction always acts opposite to an object's motion
Important Learning Objectives
- Describe the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration
- Identify features of a graph: axes, slope, intercepts, maxima, minima
- Interpret a motion diagram to describe an object's behavior
- Understand the relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration in terms of calculus
- Apply the four kinematic equations to solve problems involving moving objects
- Determine velocity, acceleration, displacement, and change in velocity from graphs
- Generate graphs of position, velocity, and acceleration from one another
- Explain the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface
- Explain how an object's position, velocity, and acceleration change when thrown upward, downward, or dropped
Motivation and Real-World Context
- Kinematics is the study of how objects move
- Understanding kinematics is important for preventing injuries from large accelerations or decelerations
