Displacement. If an object moves relative to a reference frame (for example, if a professor moves to the right relative to a white board or a passenger moves toward the rear of an airplane), then the object’s position changes. This change in position is known as displacement.
Aeronautics for Introductory Physics’ approach to contextual physics teaching and learning does not rely upon building mental models that are unique to flight – rather, it is founded on the ideas of traditional physics instruction, paralleling the
We define a physical quantity either by specifying how it is measured or by stating how it is calculated from other measurements. For example, we define distance and time by specifying methods for measuring them, whereas we define average speed by stating that it is calculated as distance traveled divided by time of travel.
In this text, you will begin to explore the history of the formal study of physics, beginning with natural philosophy and the ancient Greeks, and leading up through a review of Sir Isaac Newton and the laws of physics that bear his name.
A plane is traveling from Portland to Seattle, which is 100 miles due north of Portland. There is a constant wind traveling southeast at 30 mph. If the plane needs to get to Seattle in one hour while flying due north, at what speed (relative to the wind) and angle should the pilot fly?
Physics archive. The physics archive contains legacy physics content, and is not being updated with new content. Exercises and mastery mechanics will be removed from the physics archive in July 2024. For our most up-to-date, mastery-enabled courses, check out high school physics and AP Physics!
