Objectives : students should be able to :

 

Kinematics (Displacement and Velocity in One Dimension)

It is expected that students will demonstrate an understanding of the relationships between time, displacement, and velocity, and apply these relationships to problems in everyday one-dimensional situations.

    1. define period and frequency
      1. time
      2. cycle
    2. define the term kinematics
    3. differentiate between scalar and vector quantities
    4. define distance, displacement, speed, and velocity

Part I - Period and Frequency - Introduction and Notes :

See attached notes, starting "TIME", page 2-1, also two examples page 2-2

See attached notes, starting "Describing Motion With Diagrams", page 2-3, 2-4

give highlighted notes (Section A).
