Wednesday, September 10
Thursday, September 11
- 5th/6th
- Chapter 1 Test
- *Chapter 2:Kinematics vs. dynamics
- Our place in the universe
- Vectors vs. scalars (displacement vs. distance and velocity vs. speed)
- Walk from home to store and back. What is avg. vel. and avg. speed?
- 7th
- Chapter 1 Test
Friday, September 12
- 5th/6th
- Reaction Time Lab due
- Relative Motion Show the river
- What change means
- Actual formula for v
- Constant velocity vs. instantaneous velocity vs. average velocity
- You walk to the store and back. What is your average speed? Average velocity?
- *Graphical representation of speed (horizontal, + slope, – slope)
- Slope of x-t line is speed. On curve avg. speed is slope between two points and inst. speed is slope of a tangent line to curve. (Limit definition.)
