PHYSICS WEEK 5 2010
P-A. One Dimensional Motion:
Recognize and mathematically analyze the relationships amongst the variables associated
with linear motion.
P-A1. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY
a. Describe motion in terms of frame of reference, displacement, time, and velocity.
b. Calculate the displacement of an object traveling at a known velocity
for a specific time interval.
c. Construct and interpret graphs of position versus time.
P-A2. ACCELERATION
d. Describe motion in terms of changing velocity. (acceleration)
e. Compare graphical representations of accelerated and nonaccelerated motions.
f. Apply kinematic equations to calculate distance, time, or velocity under
conditions of constant acceleration.
P-A3. FALLING OBJECTS
g. Relate the motion of a freely falling body to motion with constant acceleration.
h. Calculate displacement, velocity, and time at various point in the
motion of a freely falling object
i. Compare the motion of different objects in free fall.

WARM-UP
Can two cars moving
with the same speed
collide? Can two cars
moving with the same
velocity collide?
Explain.
Tuesday September
21st
A bus slows down
uniformly from 21.0
m/s to rest in 21 s.
How far does it travel
before stopping?
A car traveling in a
straight line has a
velocity of +5.0 m/s.
After an acceleration of
0.75 m/s^2, the car’s
velocity is +8.0 m/s. In
what time interval did
the acceleration occur?

Friday September 24th
A car traveling +7.0
m/s accelerates a rate
of +0.80 m/s^2 for an
interval of 2.0 s. Find
vf.
