Describe the motion of an object using speed, velocity, and acceleration
|
Text:
Conceptual Physics, Chapter 2 (Honors) Physics: Principles and Problems, Chapter 3 |
Vocabulary:
Instantaneous speed Average speed Velocity Acceleration |
Formulae:
speed = distance / time acceleration = ∆velocity / ∆time velocity = acceleration * time distance=1/2*acceleration*time2 |

Key Concepts:
Chapter 2: Motion
Chapter 2: Motion
- Relate an object’s speed to the distance it travels in a certain amount of time, for both instantaneous speed and average speed
- Use speed & direction to describe an object’s velocity
- Use acceleration to describe an object’s change in velocity
- Interpret graphs to describe an object’s motion
- (Honors) Apply derivative and integral analysis of a motion graph
