Module 1—Motion

Module Summary

 

When you began this module, you were presented with the following questions:

Each question related to the description of motion. Reflect on the readings, labs, and questions you’ve been asked to complete in this module. You worked on describing and analyzing the motion of objects such as chuckwagons, cars, and the space shuttle. You learned about the concepts of acceleration, velocity, and displacement and how they relate to the more everyday ideas of speed and distance. One of the major differences you studied was that the former are vector quantities while the latter are scalar quantities.
