Introduction
Kinematics: motion in one and two dimensions

Position, distance and displacement
Average speed, average velocity, instantaneous velocity

Ex: jog and drive

Acceleration

Ex: bows and arrows
Graphical interpretation of

Ex: Superman and Lois Lane
Ex: chameleon

Freely falling objects

Two Dimensional (2D) kinematics, projectile motion

relating vectors and their scalar components
Relative Motion
Projectile motion simulation
Rate of vertical free fall: monkey gun movie clip
Ex: Lawsuit
Ex: gravitational acceleration on Xoltac
