Chapter 11 - Motion
11.1 Distance and Displacement
Frame of reference system of objects that are not moving with respect to one another Needed to describe motion accurately and completely
Relative motion movement in relation to a frame of reference
Distance length of a path between two points (measured in meters) Displacement the direction from the starting pt. and the length of a straight line from the starting pt. to the ending pt.
Combining Displacements Vector a quantity that has magnitude and direction Displacement is a vector. Arrows used to represent vectors. Length of arrow shows magnitude
When two displacements have the same direction, magnitudes are added. If the two displacements are in opposite directions, magnitudes are subtracted.
Resultant vector sum of two or more vectors

11.2 Speed and Velocity
Speed ratio of the distance an object moves to the amount of time it moves Speed = distance/time
Average speed = total distance/total time Instantaneous speed = measured at a particular instant
Graphing Speed Distance-time graph Slope of a d-t graph shows speed Steeper line = faster speed Straight line shows constant speed
Velocity is speed in a given direction.
Velocity is a vector Calculated the same way as speed. V=d/t
Velocities can be combined.

11.3 Acceleration Acceleration the rate at which velocity changes Can be change in speed OR direction Acceleration is speeding up, slowing down, starting, stopping, or changing direction.
Acceleration is a vector. Accel. = final velocity initial velocity/time
a = Vf Vi / t
Free fall movement of an object toward Earth because of gravity
Objects in free fall accelerate Acceleration due to gravity near earths surface is a constant, g = 9.8 m/s2
t=0s v = 0 m/s t=1s v = 9.8 m/s
t=2s v = 19.6 m/s
t=3s v = 29.4 m/s
Constant Acceleration steady change in velocity Graphs of Accelerated Motion Speed-time graph Slope shows acceleration Straight line shows constant acceleration Steeper slope shows greater increase or decrease per unit time
Increase in speed is positive acceleration.
Decrease in speed is negative acceleration.
Increasing slope on a d-t graph means speed is increasing.
Instantaneous Acceleration how fast velocity is changing at a specific instant
