    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
    • Kinematics is essential to biomechanics, understanding how and why the human body moves
    • Kinematic data is used to create prosthetic limbs and joints

    Pre-Lab Assignment:

    • Position vs. Time Graph - Identify points on a graph where an object is slowing down, turning around, speeding up, stationary, moving left, moving right, and moving fastest
