Lesson Plan
Period #5 Velocity Quiz / Velocity vs Time Graphs
Materials : Textbook : Physics - Principles and Problems
Velocity Quiz
Review : Mark Questions 1-4, and 9 - 12 page 66 and 69 Practice Problems
Objectives : students should be able to :
use velocity-versus-time graphs to determine the instantaneous or average acceleration of objects solve problems for objects with constant acceleration, involving: displacement , initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, time
Part I - Displacement During Acceleration - Introduction and Notes :
Give Notes starting at "DISPLACEMENT AND ACCELERATION" p. 2-26 , derive the displacement equation in terms of acceleration, and discuss the two special cases, acceleration equals zero and initial velocity equals zero.
Do examples on page 2-27
