All About Motion: Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
- Synopsis
- Suitable for GCSE students, this DVD introduces the concepts of vector and scalar quantities, displacement, velocity and acceleration. It deals with:
· Vectors - explains the difference between vector and scalar quantities, and demonstrates methods of representing vectors and arithmetic operations with vectors.
· Displacement - distance and displacement are defined and explained using the example of a road journey.
· Velocity - explains speed and velocity, and gives specific examples of their uses, including the special case of uniform circular motion.
· Acceleration - defined in terms of velocity change with time, including negative acceleration and an analysis of centripetal acceleration of a body moving in a circular path with constant speed.
· Acceleration on Galileo’s inclined planes - his experiment is demonstrated to show how to calculate acceleration on inclined planes. - Language
