Velocity

Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics which describes the motion of points, bodies (objects) and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without consideration of the causes of motion. In this video lesson Mr. Russo will be specifically discussing distance, displacement, speed and velocity.

Mr. Swords, along with his students, do a trial run with dominoes. The use of dominoes in a lab shows different factors that affect speed.

Angular velocity of a rigid body is the rate of change of its angular position. Angular Acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity with time.

This lesson will define acceleration and give examples of positive and negative acceleration. The rate of change of the velocity, looking at displacement, and using different examples and diagrams to take a step by step look at the process of setting up equations to gain a better understanding of the concept.

This lesson will compare and contrast instantaneous and average velocity. Average velocity will be defined and explained in relation to displacement and elapsed time. Instantaneous velocity will be defined and explained in relation to the limit. Using different examples and diagrams to take a step by step look at the process of setting up equations to gain a better understanding of the concept.

Mr. Swords teaches acceleration and how to calculate it through examples such as acceleration in action and deceleration.

This lesson will look at an example question involving relative velocity. The given information will assist in solving for the components that need to be found. This lesson will draw diagrams to give a step by step explanation of how to derive the correct equation and better explain the concept.

This lesson will define and explain constant angular acceleration by looking at a 2 wheels linked by belt or 2 meshing gears example question. The given information will assist in solving for the components that need to be found. This lesson will draw diagrams to give a step by step explanation of how to derive the correct equation and better explain the concept.
