1.0 Unit 1 Overview: Kinematics

The world is always moving! Having the capability to describe the motion around you opens up your surroundings wildly. Kinematics is the branch of mechanics that describes the motion of objects without yet covering what forces cause that motion.

Problem-solving Practice/Q&A

I go over how to do a very large variety of launch problems, solving for pretty much every possible variable in every possible context. This includes horizontal, vertical, and angle launch problems.

Motion in 2D & Freefall

Introduction to freefall and 2D motion. Video clips of both types of motion were used to describe the acceleration, velocity, and position changes of the objects. Mathematical equations were derived for objects dropped, launched horizontally and launched at an angle from equal and unequal heights. Finally practice questions from the AP exams were covered.

Horizontal Launch Problems

How to do horizontal launch problems! Basics step by step how-to, and going over every single possible variation of this problem type of launch problem; solved for every type of variable that could be missing.

Angle Launch Problems

In this video, we start with some review of basic trig concepts and then move on with the basics of an angled projectile problem by reviewing the difference between the horizontal and vertical velocity of a projectile. We then spend a chunk of time working two simple problems as well as two AP problems.

Problem-solving Practice/Q&A

Worked on a bunch of physics graphs concerning displacement, velocity, and acceleration. We also worked on a graph with simple harmonic motion

Velocity vs. Time Graphs

Review of position vs time graphs, how slope can be used to create a velocity vs time graph. Using the area of velocity to find position and several sample AP questions along with a Desmos simulation.

Position vs. Time Graphs

In this video, we will look at the difference between "plot" and "sketch" as well as what you MUST have on an AP Physics 1 position vs. time graph to earn all the points. We then will look at how to properly use the best-fit line (and not the data table) to find the slope and therefore the speed. We figure out how to invert an incorrectly plotted graph and then look at the different shapes of position vs. time graphs.

Position & Velocity

Explains the difference between scalars and vectors including distance and displacement, speed and velocity. Also helps students determine the difference between position and distance. Example calculations of distance and displacement, as well as speed and velocity in one dimension and around a track, included.

Problem-solving Practice/Q & A

Mostly struggled with some viewer questions. The stream for 9/5 actually covers the same material but includes better content that I am more satisfied with. This stream would be somewhat useful for position/velocity/acceleration graphs.

Acceleration

In this review, we look at the definition of acceleration, +/- velocity and +/- acceleration and how that leads to speeding up and slowing down, motion maps of acceleration, x vs. t, v vs. t, as well as a vs. t graphs, the 4 kinematic equations for accelerated motion, and finally some problem examples.

1.1 Position, Velocity, and Acceleration

All forces share certain common characteristics when considered by observers in inertial reference frames. (A frame of reference in which a body remains at rest or moves with constant linear velocity unless acted upon by forces)

1.2 Representations of Motion

The acceleration of the center of mass of a system is related to the net force exerted on the system, where a = F/m.
