Graphing Position, Velocity & Acceleration
We are wrapping up one dimensional motion today with all of the key ideas covered. We’ve talked about distance and displacement, speed and velocity and last week we talked about acceleration as the ra...

Acceleration
Let’s get to it.Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity. It is how the velocity changes. When car companies brag about how quickly their vehicles go from 0 to 60, they are talking a...

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 o...

Scalars vs Vectors
If you didnt listen to my last episode on Distance vs Displacement - give that one a listen for a little bit of context on how we talk about movement. In the last episode we determined that there are ...

Distance vs Displacement
Let's start off by discussing the idea of movement.What is movement?How can someone move?Do we care about direction?Do we care how fast someone is going?If we really want to start off with the basics,...
