They are actually flash animations of the slides. Note dotted lines do not show up properly on these animations. They are a little "buggy." I'm learning the limitations of the translation software. Future animations should work better. Objectives Students will be able to Worksheet Solutions Define displacement, velocity, acceleration and jerk and relate them to each other shrough slope. Use the slope to determine velocity, acceleration and jerk for constant motions. QOD all Use tangent lines to find slope at a point and draw an estimated "slope" curve. QOD Slope answer Animation magnifying a tangent line to show how parallel it is to a curve. (This animation is supposed to play in the previous presentation but does not. It will play here. QOD #2 Calculate the avearge velocity on a position vs time and velocity vs time graph. Answers prob. 7 Use the "area" to go from jerk to acceleration; from acceleartion to velocity, and from velocity to dispalcement.
