General Physics, Measurement, Motion Complete Lesson ppt. 35 slides

Contents:
• Length and time
• Use and describe the use of rules and measuring cylinders to find a length or a volume
• Use and describe the use of clocks and devices, both analogue and digital, for measuring an interval of time
• Obtain an average value for a small distance and for a short interval of time by measuring multiples (including the period of a pendulum)

• Density and its measurement for various types of objects
• Understand that a micrometer screw gauge is used to measure very small distances
• Motion Define speed and calculate average speed from total time total distance
• Plot and interpret a speed-time graph or a distance-time graph
• Recognize from the shape of a speed-time graph when a body is – at rest – moving with constant speed – moving with changing speed
• Calculate the area under a speed-time graph to work out the distance travelled for motion with constant acceleration
