In Motion:A Physics Unit
I love physics, but I hate moving.

· Work with both vector and scalar quantities
· Describe differences of distance and displacement
· Recognize interval and instant
· Describe differences of speed and velocity

To describe movement you must have two things:
Origin Position
Origin – a reference (start) point, where we begin to take measurements from.
Position – the location an object is found away from the Origin.
![Page 6: In Motion: A Physics Unit I love physics, but I hate moving.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649dbb5503460f94aac30c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Distance is the total travel of the object, regardless of the path or direction.
Δd = 3 cm
Origin Position
It is a scalar value - it is given only as a number for its size with a unit.
![Page 7: In Motion: A Physics Unit I love physics, but I hate moving.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649dbb5503460f94aac30c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Displacement is the overall change in position of an object.
It is a vector quantity and must be given with a number for its size, a unit and a DIRECTION.
∆d = 3 cm

The formula for Displacement is found by the final position minus the initial position
A change in any quantity is found by final minus initial values.
∆d = d2 - d1
initial position (origin)
final position delta means “change in”

A toy car begins at -1 cm. If the car stops at +3 cm, calculate the distance and displacement of the car.
d1 = -1 cm d2 = +3
Position
∆d = 4 cm +
Δd = 4 cm
Origin
∆d = d2 - d1
∆d = (+3) - (-1)

Draw a number line to show a car moving from a start of +2 cm and stops at the -3 cm mark. Find the displacement of the car.
Origin Position
∆d = 5 cm -d1 = +2 cm d2 = -3
∆d = d2 - d1
∆d = (-3) - (+2)

Instants and Intervals of Time
![Page 13: In Motion: A Physics Unit I love physics, but I hate moving.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649dbb5503460f94aac30c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In physics, Time occurs two ways:
An instant of time is a reading at a particular, precise moment.
An interval of time is total amount of time between two instants.
Interval = instant2 - instant1
![Page 14: In Motion: A Physics Unit I love physics, but I hate moving.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649dbb5503460f94aac30c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
∆t = t2 - t1
Instant or interval of time is a SCALAR quantity.

d = d2 - d1
t = t2 - t1
