Assessment Objectives

• Given velocity and acceleration vectors, identify whether an object is speeding up or slowing down.
• Fill out a 1D kinematics table correctly.
• - Recognize the importance of a basis, and label values with the appropriate signs.
• - Identify when the acceleration is $\pm 9.8\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$, and when it is not.
• Solve for a missing variable in a 1D Kinematics problem.
• When a 1D kinematics problem has more than one answer, identify which one is correct.
• Solve a problem which involves kinematics and forces, via the acceleration.
• Fill out a 2D kinematics table correctly.
• - Be able to split velocity and acceleration vectors into their components.
• - Label values with the appropriate signs.
• Solve a 2D kinematics problem for one or more variables.
• - ...when only one column needs to be solved
• - ...when both columns need to be solved
• - ...when the object is in free fall
• - ...when the object is not in free fall (e.g. a car)
