Vectors Vs. Scalars • Scalars have only a MAGNITUDE (number)
• Vectors have a MAGNITUDE and DIRECTION (+ or -)

1D Motion
• Movement in a straight line
• Position-the point where an object is located
• Displacement-the change in an objects position in a specific direction defined as:
∆x = xf – xi
• Distance- the quantity which describes the total length traveled or how much ground was covered.
• Time of travel-the time required to go from xi to xf.

Which line represents the greatest distance traveled? Which line represents the greatest displacement?
For displacement, only the endpoints
matter!!

1D Motion
• Speed vs. Velocity – Both measure the rate of travel
– Velocity has a directional component (+ = rightward and - =leftward)
– Speed does not have a directional component
– Velocity can be defined as:
v = (total displacement)/(total time)
v = (∆x)/(∆t) (for movement in the x-direction)
– Speed can be defined as: s = (distance traveled)/(∆t)
– EX: • Car speed: 20 m/s
• Car Velocity: 20 m/s NW

Track Diagrams
Where is the object at 3 seconds? What is the object’s displacement between 3 and 6 seconds? How long did it take the object to get to a position of 17 m? What is the object’s average velocity? Is the object’s average velocity constant?

What is the object’s displacement at 2 seconds? What is the object’s velocity between 1 and 2 seconds? What is the object’s displacement at 4 seconds? Is the objects average velocity constant?
