Motion & Kinematics — Chapter overview · Physics & Environmental Science, Grade 12
Describe motion with graphs, vectors, and bounded constant-acceleration models.
Chapter question
What can a motion graph tell us about where an object will go?
Units in this chapter
- Unit 2.1 · Describing Motion
I can describe an object's position relative to a chosen origin and reference frame.
- Unit 2.2 · Velocity & Acceleration
I can distinguish average velocity, instantaneous velocity, and average speed, and calculate each.
- Unit 2.3 · Motion Graphs & Kinematic Equations
I can read velocity from the slope of a position-time graph and acceleration from the slope of a velocity-time graph.
- Unit 2.4 · Projectile & Two-Dimensional Motion
I can explain that the horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are independent.
