Chapter 2 Motion in One Direction
Motion
One-dimensional motion is the simplest form of motion
Motion takes place over time and depends upon the frame of reference Example: Two cars on the road.
Displacement
Displacement is a change in position.
Displacement is not always equal to the distance traveled
Displacement can be positive or negative
Velocity
Average velocity is displacement divided by the time interval
Velocity is not the same as speed
Velocity can be interpreted graphically
Instantaneous velocity may not be the same as average velocity
