1-Dimensional Motion. Only x or y or z coordinates East or West Up or Down Right and Left. Frame of reference must be chosen! Bus, moving sidewalk, tennis ball in car http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=140

1-Dimensional Motion Only x or y or z coordinates East or West Up or Down Right and Left
Frame of reference must be chosen! • Bus, moving sidewalk, tennis ball in car http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=140 This will become important discussing relative motion and relativity!
Displacement ≠ Distance(it can, but doesn’t have to!) • Swimming Pool • Displacement Formula: ∆x = xf -xi • By convention… • Right is +, left is negative • Up is +, down is -
Velocity ≠ Speed • Velocity is a vector. • Vectors include both magnitude and direction • 55 m/s east • Speed is a scalar quantity. • Scalars have a magnitude, but no direction • 30 miles/hour
Average Velocity = Displacement/time • Or, • Vavg = ∆x/∆t • Vavg = xf – xi tf - ti • Vavg ≠ vf + vi 2 Example…
When solving problems,Don’t GUESS • Diagram: • Given: • Unknown: • Equation: • Substitute: • Solve:
