GP 1

Unit Conversion

Scalar and Vector quantities and their relation to the description of linear motion.

• Among distance, displacement, position, speed, and velocity.

• Solving simple problems involving one dimensional speed and velocity, distance (displacement), and time

Distinguish among constant, instantaneous, and average speed and average velocity.

Examples involving uniform and non-uniform motion.

Position – time graphs for constant velocity, and calculate slope of the line.

Vector Addition

• Add collinear and non-collinear displacement vectors graphically and through Pythagorean Theorem.

Acceleration (one dimensional)

• Solve simple problems involving change in velocity, time.

• Acceleration due to gravity

Velocity – time graphs for constant acceleration, and calculate the slope of the line
