Vectors Part 1: Coordinate System Flashcards
1
Q
What units can describe the motion of an object?
A
Position, Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration.
2
Q
What does the Position specify?
A
It specifies the location.
3
Q
What do the Velocity and Acceleration specify?
A
They specify the direction.
4
Q
How do mathematical coordinate systems help?
A
They help you describe the location and orientation of an object easily.
5
Q
What happens if the question does not specify the location?
A
Start at the orgin.
6
Q
True or false. If the problem is complex you should start at the positive x axis and start counting the degrees clock wise.
A
False. We should count the degrees counter clock wise not clock wise.
