II. Velocity
A. Velocity = speed in a defined direction
1) 20 mph = speed
2) 20 mph due North = velocity
B. Changes in Velocity
1) Car on a curve: speed stays the
same, velocity is always changing
C. Instantaneous Velocity = average velocity for a short time period where the
velocity changes little
D. Changes in Velocity are caused by forces
1) Baseball: force of gravity, hand throwing and catching, wind, etc…
2) We will discuss forces more later
