Module Introduction

In this module you will develop the tools and the language to describe motion clearly, concisely, and in a format that physicists worldwide understand. The major new item you will focus on in Module 1 is the vector. You will see how vectors are used to describe motion. You will also see how graphs of motion-related entities can help solve real-world problems. Finally, you will begin to use new equations that will also help in solving problems.
