|UNIT 1: Kinematics – Motion Along a Straight Line |
|SKILLS TO MASTER |
|Read a problem carefully and sketch a diagram with a reasonable axis and positive direction. |
|Calculate the displacement between two positions, with magnitude and direction. |
|Calculate the average velocity of a particle, with magnitude and direction. |
|Determine the average velocity of a particle from a graph of x vs. t. Use the slope of a graph to find average velocity. |
|Calculate the average speed of a particle for a path. |
|Determine the instantaneous velocity of a particle from a motion equation. Write an equation for instantaneous velocity, and use it to find |
|the velocity at a specific instant. |
|Calculate the average acceleration of a particle, with magnitude and direction. |
|Determine the instantaneous acceleration of a particle from a motion equation. Write an equation for instantaneous acceleration, and use it to|
|find the acceleration at a specific instant. |
