KINEMATICS IN TWO OR THREE DIMENSIONS:
LESSON PLAN
PERIOD #4 Vectors

REVIEW:

Mark and review last assignment on vectors.

MATERIALS:

Quiz 3.4 Vectors

OBJECTIVES:

A: Vector Kinematics in Two Dimensions (Vectors and Relative Velocity)

It is expected that students will demonstrate an ability to use vector analysis to solve problems in determining velocities, displacement, and time of travel of objects.

A8.  describe relative velocity

A9.  use vector analysis to determine velocities, displacement, and time of travel for navigation problems

B: Vector Kinematics in Two Dimensions (Motion with Constant Acceleration)

It is expected that students will apply the concepts of motion with constant acceleration to various real-life situations.

B1.  identify situations involving the use of kinematics

B2.  solve problems involving:

•displacement •initial velocity •final velocity •average velocity •acceleration •time

INTRODUCTION

VECTORS IN PROBLEM SOLVING

• describe the term relative velocity;
• EXPLAIN the subscript rules for labelling relative vectors;
• use vector analysis to determine velocities, displacements and time of explain how in some cases you are finding the sum of the vectors because the motions add up while in other situations you are trying to find the difference because the motions are independent of one another - example the boat/river and the cars examples on pages 58 and 59
