Example of Motion
- Examples of motion are shown, likely including images or videos.
Free Fall Objects
- Images/videos of free-falling objects are presented.
Scalar and Vector Quantities
- Scalars have only magnitude (e.g., distance, speed, time, mass, energy)
- Vectors have both magnitude and direction (e.g., displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum, force)
Distance vs Displacement
- Distance is a scalar quantity, representing the total ground covered during motion.
- Displacement is a vector quantity, representing the overall change in an object's position.
Examples
- Example questions are provided, such as calculating displacement of a cross-country team or distance/displacement of Indy 500 racers.
Distance and Displacement Graph
- A graph of distance and displacement is shown.
Distance vs Displacement (Table)
- A table contrasting distance and displacement, highlighting their differences regarding dependence on direction, and values.
Speed vs Velocity
- Speed (scalar): how fast an object moves. Average speed = Total distance/Total time.
- Velocity (vector): how fast and in which direction an object moves). Average velocity = Total displacement/Total time
Example Calculation (Speed)
- An example calculation, likely for average speed, involving given distance and time values.
Example Calculation (Speed and Velocity)
