Document Summary

Now that we know how to use motion diagrams, let s attempt to add vectors on each frame that represent the objects velocity and acceleration. A sprinter accelerates from rest at the start of a race. Notice how the velocity continues to grow, while the acceleration stays the same. If each dot is at a one second interval, how do these two diagrams connect to one another (remember the definition for acceleration). An ice skater glides to a stop on a pond. A car accelerates from a stop sign only to come and stop at a second one. Brett favre throws a football to adrian peterson in the end zone.
