OBJECTIVES
 

This unit continues with the study of movement started in Movement (I).

The aim is for a deeper understanding of the terms:

average acceleration vector, intrinsic components of acceleration.

More information is given about the vectorial description of accelerated movements.

Problematic situations are described which help you to understand rectilinear and circular, uniform and accelerated movements. Their graphic representations play an important role in the understanding of these movements. 

The Teaching Unit ends with the study of simple movements like ascending and descending, and the crossing of moving objects.

You will find the information needed to begin to study this Teaching Unit in:

 Kinematics (2nd year)   Rectilinear movements (4th year)  Uniform circular movement (4th year) 

Trajectory and displacement (4th year) 

Acceleration
