PSc.1.1.1
•Interpret all motion as relative to a selected reference point. Identify distance and displacement as a scalar-vector pair.
•Describe motion qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of an object’s change of position, distance traveled, and displacement.
PSc.1.1.2
•Compare speed and velocity as a scalar-vector pair. Velocity is a relationship between displacement and time:
•Apply concepts of average speed and average velocity to solve conceptual and quantitative problems.
•Using graphical analysis, solve for displacement, time, and average velocity. Analyze conceptual trends in the
displacement (position) vs. time graphs such as constant velocity and acceleration.
•Explain acceleration as a relationship between velocity and time:
•Using graphical analysis, solve for velocity, time, and average acceleration. Analyze conceptual trends in the velocity vs. time graphs such as constant velocity and acceleration.
•Infer how momentum is a relationship between mass and velocity of an object, p mv = . The focus should be on the conceptual understanding that the same momentum could be associated with a slow-moving massive object and an object moving at high velocity with a very small mass (e.g.- 100 kg object moving 1 m/s has the same momentum as a 1-kg object moving 100m/s) •Explain change in momentum in terms of the magnitude of the applied force and the time interval that the force is applied to the object. Everyday examples of the impulse/momentum relationship include: the use of airbags in cars; time of contact and “follow-through” in throwing, catching, kicking, and hitting objects in sports; bending your knees when you jump from a height to the ground to prevent injuryInterpret all motion as relative to a selected reference point.
