Section 1: Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration

Displacement: Is the distance from where you start to where you finish. Δd=df-di

Velocity: How fast and in what direction (vector quantity) V = ∆d/t Speed: How fast (scalar quantity) Average Velocity: Overall velocity or the total displacement divided by the total time. Instantaneous Velocity: Velocity at a given moment.

Speed Trap Activity: Objective: 1) Find the tanks velocity. 2) Find how far the tank will go in 15 seconds.

Cable Car Demo: Find the cars speed and how far it will go in 6 seconds: ΔX=_____ t=_______

Acceleration (a) : Rate that an object changes its velocity or speed and direction. Linear Acceleration: acceleration along a straight path Centripetal Acceleration: Acceleration due to a change in direction

What linear acceleration means: For every one second that passes, the rockets velocity will increase by ______m/s

Acceleration Equations: Change in velocity with acceleration: a = (Vf – Vi )/t Displacement with acceleration: df = di +vit + 1/2 at 2 Final velocity after displacement: Vf 2 = Vi 2 + 2 aΔd
