Document Summary
Find speed of an object given its velocity. Use the relationship between initial position, final position, and displacement. Relate the average velocity of an object to its displacement and the change in ti. Qualitatively compare instantaneous velocities at different points on a position v to tell where the velocity is larger, where it is moving forward or backward) Qualitatively compare instantaneous accelerations at different points on a veloci. Relate average acceleration of an object to the object"s change in velocity and th (equation 2) Describe the motion given in a velocity vs time or position vs time plot (is the ob backward/forward, is it speeding up or slowing down, etc. Aristotle began by identifying two general types of motion: 1. celestial motion the motion of things like the planets, the moon, and the stars never come to rest does not require force to move.
