Speed vs Velocity

How do we discuss HOW FAST an object moves?

Let’s start with speed:

SPEED is the rate at which an object covers ground.

If you’re a math head like me:

SPEED is distance divided by time , the distance an object travels in a unit of time.

If you are driving 70 mph → you can cover 70 miles in one hour

. . . if you are going at a constant speed.

Projectile Motion - Part 2

However, we don’t always just move objects at a parallel to the ground. More often than not, we move them at an angle. Think about your field goal kickers on a football field or a missile being launch...

Launching Upward

An important thing to keep in mind as we discuss upward vertical motion → we are talking about objects launching straight up into the air. Ideally, without wind or disproportionate weight or any other...

The Kinematic Formulas

Last week we listened to the start of a new idea. We expanded on motion and are now talking about up and down → vertical motion.We spent a lot of time getting accustomed to objects moving - where they...
