Kinematics

One Dimensional (grade 11)

Use the links below to find out about the relationships between displacement, time, velocity and acceleration. Learn about graphical analysis with displacement vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs. Be able to solve problems involving displacement, time, velocity and acceleration. The pinnacle of grade 11 kinematics would be to start learning about projectile motion.

Two-Dimensional (grade 12)

Use the links below to learn about vectors and their use in kinematics. Be able to use trigonometry to resolve vectors into orthogonal components, and add or subtract vectors to find resultants. Vector skills should allow you to solve problems involving displacement, velocity, time, and acceleration in many two dimensional situations, including projectile motion.
