Learning Expectation:We are learning… / Students may be given… / Students may be asked to…
2) To understand and describe the motion of an object undergoing uniform acceleration. / Written description (e.g. a
story) of an object’s motion. / Draw an x-t or v-t graph for the object.
Calculate the object’s acceleration.
Calculate the object’s average velocity, displacement at any time.
Draw a motion diagram for the object (including v and a vectors).
A position vs time (x-t) graph of an object’s motion. / Describe the motion of the object (starting position, direction of motion, velocity).
Draw the corresponding v vs t graph.
Determine if the acceleration is positive, negative, or zero.
Draw a motion diagram for the object (including v and a vectors).
Determine the instantaneous velocity or average velocity of the object at a given time.
Determine the average velocity over a given time interval.
A velocity vs time (v-t) graph of an object’s motion. / Describe the motion of the object (direction of motion, displacement, acceleration).
Draw the corresponding x vs t graph.
Draw the corresponding a vs t graph.
Draw a motion diagram for the object (including v and a vectors).
Write an equation to describe the motion.
Calculate the acceleration and the displacement.
Determine if the acceleration is positive, negative, or zero.
A motion diagram for an object during a time interval. / Describe the motion of the object (direction of motion, how fast, starting position, velocity).
Draw velocity and acceleration vectors.
Draw the corresponding x vs t graph.
Draw the corresponding v vs t graph
Determine the object’s displacement and distance traveled.
Determine the average velocity of the object.
A moving object / Describe a procedure and/or collect data in order to create any of the representations of motion listed above.
