Objects Moving
In physics class, my class and I whiteboard multiple topics. Including...
Distance: the total amount of travel
Position: where an object is in relation to the reference point
Displacement: change in position from stating point
Speed: the rate at which an object moves, ex. meters/second
Velocity: the rate at which an object moves in addition with the direction (expressed by a + or -)
X vs T Graph: shows the position of an object at a certain time (independent variable is time, dependent variable is position), velocity is derived from the slope
V vs T Graph: shows the velocity of an object at a certain time, a horizontal line shows a constant velocity, unless it is zero then it has no velocity, a instantaneous change in velocity is shown by a vertical line connecting the line of the first velocity to the line of the second velocity, displacement can be found by multiplying the area of the "box"
Average Speed: the total distance of an objects motion/total amount of travel time
Average Velocity: the total displacement of an objects motion/total amount of travel time
With a X vs T graph, distance (find absolute value of the amount of travel for each line and add them all together), position (look at position on the graph at a certain time), displacement (add the amount of travel for each line), speed (the absolute value of the slope of the lines), and velocity (the slope of the lines) can be found.
With a V vs T graph, distance (add all absolute values of the areas of the boxes), displacement (add all the areas of the boxes), speed (absolute value of velocity), and velocity can be found. However, position cannot be found because the reference point is not known on a V vs T graph.
I currently do not have any inquiries. But if I do, I will make sure to ask my classmates and or the teacher.
