velocity vs. time graphs
Homework is due. This includes the worksheet as well as the graph drawn on the board which we will discuss in class.
Velocity vs. time graphs on the motion sensor.
Families of graphs describing different kinds of motion on both d vs. t and v vs. t graphs.
Standing still, walking towards, walking away, accelerating away and decelerating away as examples.
Interpreting curved v vs. t graphs. Definition of acceleration in terms of changing velocity.
Connecting slopes to these graphs. The slope of d vs. t is v; the slope of v vs. t is a.
Calculating simple problems in acceleration.
