MINIMUM OBJECTIVES - CHAPTER 2:

The student should be able to:

1. distinguish between a vector and scalar quantity
2. define vector and scalar and give examples of each
3. define a field
4. state the  "big five" equations and the condition for which they apply
5. define average velocity and average acceleration
6. define instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration
7. calculate v(t), a(t), and x(t)
8. solve one-dimensional motion problems including but not limited to

   • one object and one acceleration
   • one object and many accelerations
   • two objects and one acceleration apiece
   • two objects and many accelerations

9. sketch and properly label a problem - starting from a written or verbal description of the problem.
10. write the big five equations with appropriate values substituted in and variables for values not known
11. write "connecting" equations if more than one object or acceleration is present in the problem
