An object that moves at a constant speed ( or velocity ) will continue doing so until it is acted upon by a force. Whether such an object speeds up or slows down after being impacted by a force, the change in motion is called an acceleration. Typically, a decrease in motion is referred toContinue reading “AP PHYSICS: Acceleration”

KINEMATICS: The Speedboat Will Miss its Mark by What Distance?
A speedboat travels eastward at 80 knots (150 km/h) through a northward current of water moving 4.00m/s. Q1: What is the speedboat’s velocity vector relative to the starting port? What is the angle of travel? Q2: If the boat’s captain wanted the boat to travel due east without getting off course, how far off courseContinue reading “KINEMATICS: The Speedboat Will Miss its Mark by What Distance?”
