Instantaneous Velocity and Speed - Motion in One Dimension
We often need to know the velocity of a particle at a given moment, rather than the average velocity over a finite time interval. For example, eve…
Position, Velocity and Acceleration Vectors - A Simple Way
Kinematics is the part of mechanics that describes the movement of particles, objects or groups of objects. In these pages, we will analyze the mo…
Matter and Model Building, Density and Atomic Mass
Matter and Model Building If physicists can not interact directly with a phenomenon, they often imagine a model for a physical system related …
Physics and Measurement - Standarts of Length, Mass, and Time
1.1 What is Physics Science and engineering are based on measurements and comparisons. Thus, we need rules about how things are measured and c…
