Describing Linear Motion

Question 1

Average ( velocity, acceleration… ect. )

Answer 1

Averages are calculated by connecting two points on a graph and determining the slope

Question 2

Curvilinear Motion

Answer 2

the motion of an object moving in a curved path

Question 3

Differentiation vs Integration

Answer 3

Differentiation is concerned with such things like calculating the rate of change in speed, acceleration and slope by calculating the slope of a line. Integration is the opposite of differentiation and is concerned with calculating the area under a line on a graph.

Question 4

Linear Motion

Answer 4

Movement in a straight line

Question 5

Pace

Answer 5

t2 –t1 /d2 –d1 (is how long it takes for you to move a certain distance while moving at a consistent speed)

Question 6

Rectilinear Motion

Answer 6

movement along a straight line

Question 7

Give an example of human movement involving the whole body that represents: rectilinear movement, curvilinear movement and angular motion.

Answer 7

Rectilinear movement: a downhill skier skiing down a flat incline in a straight line
Curvilinear movement: a gymnast that keeps their body in the same position but bounces off a trampoline and lands farther away than where they started
Angular motion: a gymnast swinging on the rings is an example of rotary motion about an axis that does not pass through the body. Figure skater rotating on ice rink is an example of rotary motion about an axis that passes through the body.
