● A motion diagram shows the position of an object at successive times.

● In the particle model, the object in the motion diagram is replaced by a series of single points.

● You can define any coordinate system you wish in describing motion, but some are more useful than others.

● A time interval is the difference between two times.

● A vector drawn from the origin of the coordinate system to the object indicates the object’s position.

● Change in position is displacement, which has both magnitude and direction.

● The length of the displacement vector represents how far the object was displaced, and the vector points in the direction of the displacement.

● Position-time graphs can be used to find the velocity and position of an object, as well as where and when two objects meet.

● Any motion can be described using words, motion diagrams, data tables, and graphs.

● The slope of an object’s position-time graph is the average velocity of the object’s motion.

● The average speed is the absolute value of the average velocity.

● An object’s initial position, di, its constant average velocity, , its position d, and the time, t, since the object was at its initial position, are related by a simple equation.

Refer to the figure and calculate the distance between the two signals?

Chapter Assessment Questions

A. 3 m

B. 8 m

C. 5 m

D. 5 cm

Chapter ResourcesChapter ResourcesChapter

A car starting from rest moves with an average speed of 6 m/s. Use the equation of motion for average velocity to calculate the distance the car traveled in 1 minute.

A. 6 m

B. 10 m

C. 60 m

D. 360 m

Chapter Assessment Questions

Reason: The equation of motion for average velocity is d = vt + di where d is the object’s position at time t of the object moving with average velocity v, and di is the initial position of the object. In this case di = 0, v = 6 m/s and t = 1 min = 60 s. Therefore d = (6 m/s)(60 s) + 0 m = 360 m.

The position-time graph at right shows three ships moving in a river. Determine which ship has greater average velocity?

Chapter Assessment Questions

A. Ship A

B. Ship B

C. Ship C

D. Both ship B and C

Chapter ResourcesChapter ResourcesChapter

Reason: The slope of A is steeper than the slopes of B and C. A steeper slope indicates a greater change in displacement during each time interval, i.e. greater average velocity.
