In this unit you will learn about:
An introduction to the difference between distance traveled and displacement.
Using a one-dimensional number line to visualise and calculate distance and displacement.
Managing time involves accurately predicting how much time it will take to do a task, and then setting aside that amount of time to complete it. Managing time is much more difficult than it may seem, which is why there are entire courses of study and research on the best approaches. But if you develop a method to undertake each component, you’ll be successful.
An elaboration on how to use Newton's second law when dealing with multiple forces, forces in two dimensions, and diagonal forces.
Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration. Learn how to use the formula to calculate acceleration.
Using position-time graphs and number lines to find displacement and distance traveled.
Worked examples finding displacement and distance from position-time graphs.
