Unit 7: The Body in Motion

Learner Objectives

  1. Define position, velocity, and acceleration and explain how they are related.
  2. Define free-fall acceleration and calculate the drag force on objects moving through fluids.
  3.  Translate motion graphs into descriptions of motion in terms of position, velocity and acceleration. Translate descriptions of motion into motion graphs.
  4. Apply  kinematics and Newton’s Second Law of Motion to analyze and predict 1-D motion.
