What to Focus On

  • A frame of reference is required to specify position and time.
  • Inertial frames are unaccelerated and non-rotating.
  • Earth is approximately inertial for laboratory work but non-inertial for astronomy.

  • One-dimensional motion changes only one coordinate.
  • Two-dimensional motion changes two coordinates.
  • Three-dimensional motion changes all three coordinates.

  • Distance is scalar.
  • Displacement is vector.
  • Displacement can be positive, negative, or zero depending on direction and final position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Distance and displacement mean the same thing.

Speed and velocity are the same quantity.

Average speed and average velocity are always equal.

Memory Tips
