Georgia HomeroomSP1Motion as Functions of Time
Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the relationship between distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time.
Appears in: Science, High School
Expectations
SP1.aPlan and carry out an investigation of one-dimensional motion to calculate average and instantaneous speed and velocity.
- Analyze one-dimensional problems involving changes of direction, using algebraic signs to represent vector direction.
- Apply one-dimensional kinematic equations to situations with no acceleration, and positive, or negative constant acceleration.
SP1.bAnalyze and interpret data using created or obtained motion graphs to illustrate the relationships among position, velocity, and acceleration, as functions of time.
SP1.cAsk questions to compare and contrast scalar and vector quantities.
SP1.dAnalyze and interpret data of two-dimensional motion with constant acceleration.
- Resolve position, velocity, or acceleration vectors into components (x and y, horizontal and vertical).
- Add vectors graphically and mathematically by adding components.
- Interpret problems to show that objects moving in two dimensions have independent motions along each coordinate axis.
- Design an experiment to investigate the projectile motion of an object by collecting and analyzing data using kinematic equations.
- Predict and describe how changes to initial conditions affect the resulting motion.
- Calculate range and time in the air for a horizontally launched projectile.
