Reference Point• Def: a point that all motion will

be measured relative to the Starting Point

• This is the starting point.

Two Types of Units• ____________:–Unit includes only objects magnitude (numerical value)

Examples:____________________• ____________:

–Unit includes magnitude and direction

Example: going 100 mph to the East

Example:_____________________________________________________

Two Types of Units• Scalar:–Unit includes only objects magnitude (numerical value)

Example: speed, distance• Vector:

–Unit includes magnitude and direction

Example: going 100 mph to the East

Example: Velocity, acceleration, force, displacement,

Position• Def:____________________________________________________________–Symbol =_____–Unit = _______–Scalar or Vector?

• Use the position vs time graph to calculate the speed of the bug using s=d/t_______________

Position• Def: a point some distance and direction from my reference point–Symbol = x–Unit = meters (m)–Scalar

• Use the position vs time graph to calculate the speed of the bug using s=d/t_______________

Distance• Def:_______________________________________________________________

• Example: If Dallas was 100 miles away and I drove to and from Dallas, what would be my distance??_______ miles to Dallas?_______miles from DallasTotal miles driven (distance)?

___________

Distance• Def: refers to the total distance traveled

• Example: If Dallas was 100 miles away and I drove to and from Dallas, what would be my distance??_______ miles to Dallas?_______miles from DallasTotal miles driven (distance)?

___________

Displacement• Def:_____________________________

(Δx = xfinal – xinitial)=___________ – __________

Example: If Dallas was 100 miles away and I drove to and from Dallas, what would be my displacement?–Start point = ________–End point = _________–Displacement=____________

Displacement• Def: Refers to the change in position

(Δx = xfinal – xinitial)Finish pt – start pt

Example: If Dallas was 100 miles away and I drove to and from Dallas, what would be my displacement?–Displacement would be zero–Start point = Houston–End point = Houston
