Overall Expectations:

​​

B1. Analyse technologies that apply concepts related to kinematics, and assess the technologies’ social and environmental impact

 

B2. Investigate, in qualitative and quantitative terms, uniform and non-uniform linear motion, and solve related problems

 

B3. demonstrate an understanding of uniform and non-uniform linear motion, in one and two dimensions.

​

Specific Expectations: 

​

B1.1 Analyse, on the basis of research, a technology that applies concepts related to kinematics (e.g., devices used to measure speed in sports; rocket accelerators; motion-detecting sensors for security systems; speedometers in automobiles)

​

B2.1 Use appropriate terminology related to kinematics, including, but not limited to: time, distance, position, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration

​

B2.2 Analyse and interpret position–time, velocity– time, and acceleration–time graphs of motion in one dimension (e.g., use tangent slopes to create velocity–time graphs from position–time graphs and acceleration–time graphs from velocity–time graphs; use the area under the curve to create position–time graphs from velocity–time graphs and velocity–time graphs from acceleration–time graphs)

​

B3.1 distinguish between the terms constant, instantaneous, and average with reference to speed, velocity, and acceleration, and provide examples to illustrate each term

​

B3.2 distinguish between, and provide examples of, scalar and vector quantities as they relate to the description of uniform and non-uniform linear motion (e.g., time, distance, position, velocity, acceleration)
