Physics+20-Kinematics-2

KINEMATICS OUTCOMES Students will describe motion in terms of displacement, velocity, acceleration and time.  1. Define, qualitatively and quantitatively, displacement, velocity and acceleration.  2. Define, operationally, and compare and contrast scalar and vector quantities  3. Explain, qualitatively and quantitatively, uniform and uniformly accelerated motion when provided with written descriptions and numerical and graphical data  4. Interpret, quantitatively, the motion of one object relative to another, using displacement and velocity vectors  5. Explain, quantitatively, two-dimensional motion in a horizontal or vertical plane, using vector components.  OUTCOME 1 ASSIGNMENTS:  A) DISCUSSION:     Using the terms displacement, velocity, and acceleration, describe your prediction for the following two pictures. (Post in the discussion forum.)      B) COORDINATION: Fully describe this video by using the terms displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. (Post in Discussion Forum)     media type="youtube" key="aSUpbovpiJg" height="390" width="640" C) RESOURCEFULNESS and COLLABORATION: (Post in Discussion Forum)       Find and post your own movement video. Describe the movement using words. Describe the movement using a    distance-time graph   , and    velocity-time graph    . In order for you to pass this check point, three "users" must agree that you've described the motion in full detail.        Helpful tutorial describing how to graph motion.  []               D) FORMULATION: (Use video, graphs, and photos. Create your own wiki page and name it---   project 1: your name   )       Dominos   : "Numerous domino tiles are balanced on a table or floor with their long axis vertical with horizontal spaces that can be varied. When the first tile is knocked over a domino wave occurs. Predict and measure the speed of this wave and its dependence on various parameters. "
