Kinematics: Introduction

objectives Module Objectives

After you have completed this module, you will be able to:

  1. Describe velocity and acceleration conceptually (qualitatively) and mathematically (quantitatively) for objects moving with constant velocity and constant acceleration.
  2. Use mathematical models that describe an object undergoing one-dimensional and two-dimensional motion.
  3. Sketch and analyze the graphs of position-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time for objects undergoing constant velocity and acceleration.
  4. Apply vector addition and resolution to solve kinematics problems.
  5. Apply mathematical models in problem solving when dealing with projectile motion.
