OBJECTIVES
 Analyze the motion of an object in terms of its position
and velocity
 Describe velocity as a vector quantity, and speed as a
scalar
 Observe graphs that describe the motion of objects based
on their position and velocity
 Use Motion maps to represent motion
 Analyze the motion of an object in terms of its position
and velocity
 Describe what the slope of a speed-versus-time graph
represents.
 Differentiate scalars and vectors and give common
examples.
 Infer the relationship between the dependent and
independent variables and recognize a mathematical
model to these graphs.
 Demonstrate how an observed motion is dependent on a
frame of reference
 Evaluate that there is no absolute frame of reference from
which to observe all motion.
