Yesterday we learned the many things that were scalars in our everyday assessment of motion.

  • Distance:  no direction, but has a magnitude
  • Speed: no direction, but has a magnitude
  • Acceleration: We think of acceleration in only a forward and backward kinda thing, like depressing the gas or brake pedal in a car.

But each and every one of these quantities has a vector counterpart.

1.1 - Introduction to Motion & Time PDF Print E-mail

In this unit we'll be looking at everything you have already witnessed in your daily lives.  We'll be analysing things in motion, things at rest, and how things at rest become things in motion.

Over the course of our existence on this planet, we have gone from walking & running, to using animals for transportation, using wind to power vehicles and boats, riding bikes, driving cars, flight and finally space flight.  The last few of these innovations happened over an incredibly short period of time.  Less than 100 years transpired between the first self propelled land vehicle was created, to the existence of man outside our planet's atmosphere.
