Text Objectives:

Objectives (I can statements): 

1.1  Explain the idea that motion is relative.

1.2  Define speed and distinguish between instantaneous speed and average speed

1.3  Distinguish between speed and velocity, and describe how to tell whether a velocity is changing.

1.4  Define acceleration and give examples of its units.  Interpret and calculate problems relating Vi, vf, d, a, t.

1.5  Describe the motion of an object in free fall.

1.6  Describe the motion of an object thrown straight up and allowed to fall until it hits the ground.

1.7  Determine the speed and the distance fallen at any time after an object is dropped from rest, when air resistance is negligible.

1.8  Classify, measure, and graph motion.  Explain how graphs can be used to describe relationships among time, distance and speed.

1.9  Describe how air resistance affects the motion of falling objects

1.10 Explain why acceleration is a rate of a rate.
