Motion in a Straight Line.

9 lessons87 min7 simulations9 practice questions

This chapter describes motion along a single line without asking what causes it: how position, velocity and acceleration are defined, how they are read from graphs, and how the three kinematic equations follow when acceleration is constant. It is the language every later mechanics chapter is written in, from projectiles to rotation.
