Motion and Kinematics
By Oliver Smith
Motion has been studied by scientists for millennia. Using visual aids to introduce these concepts makes it easier for students to gain a solid understanding and foundation in kinematics that can help them in a range of other activities and industries!
Storyboard Description
Kinematics - Motion Vocabulary
Storyboard Text
- ACCELERATION
- AVERAGE SPEED
- She ran 100 meters in 25 seconds.
- So my average speed is 4 m/s!
- STATIONARY
- STOP
- Acceleration is a measure of the rate of change of speed, measured in m/s2.
- Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance by the time taken to travel that distance.
- If an object is stationary, it is still and not moving.
- Gradient
- Motion Vocabulary
- TERMINAL VELOCITY
- The slope of a line on a graph. If the gradient is high then the line is steep
- Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity reached by a falling object. This happens when an object’s weight is equal, but opposite, to the drag force.
