a. P2.1 Position — Time
An object’s position can be measured and graphed
as a function of time. An object’s speed can be
calculated and graphed as a function of time.
- Fear
of Physics, learn about position, velocity, and acceleration
This is a site that allows a student to input different
values for the components of a moving object and see
how it effects all the other components.
- Physics
for Physical Science
The unit on motion in this site is very descriptive
and contains a lot of graphs and animation. Subjects
covered are: projectile motion, momentum, force, energy,
and power.
b. P2.2 Velocity — Time
The motion of an object can be described by its position
and velocity as functions of time and by its average
speed and average acceleration during intervals of time.
- Chapter
2 Velocity - Motion of Objects
This is another site that allows you to input
velocity and see how it effects motion.
- Physics
for Physical Science
The unit on motion in this site is very descriptive
and contains a lot of graphs and animation. Subjects
covered are: projectile motion, momentum, force, energy,
and power.
c. P2.3x Frames of Reference
All motion is relative to whatever frame of reference
is chosen, for there is no motionless frame from which
to judge all motion.
- Frames
of Reference: The Basics
Newton's equations
describe and predict the way an object moves: but
moves with regard to what?
- Lesson
9: Relative Motion and Frames of Reference
Relative motion is just a way of saying that sometimes
different people will say different things about the
motion of the same object.
- Relative
Motion (Frame of Reference)
An object may appear to have one motion to one observer
and a different motion to a second observer, depending
on how the two observers are moving with respect to
one another.
