Motion, Speed and Velocity Changes in Space and Time Description Mechanical engineers are often engaged in the creation, modification and maintenance of machines and mechanisms. Machines transform energy, or change the direction and rate of applied forces in order to produce useful amounts of work. The term Work refers to the application of force through a given distance. Expressed as a algebraic statement, Work = Force x Distance. Since this implies movement, it is clear that motion is an essential component of mechanical assemblies. This lesson serves as an introduction to basic concepts and the technical literacy associated with motion. Terms, Concepts and Definitions Review and Define These Terms Position Distance Position-Time Graph Vector Displacement Constant Velocity Average Velocity Speed Velocity Slope Instantaneous Position Speed-Time Graph Instantaneous Velocity Scalar Work Materials/Equipment/Supplies/Software Pen/Pencil Paper (graphing) Tape Measure Calculator Spreadsheet Program Selected GEARS-IDS Components (optional) Stop Watches (4-8) Objectives Students who participate in this lesson will • Discriminate between speed and velocity • Measure and calculate speed and velocity • Evaluate and create speed and time graphs • Understand and use the technical vocabulary of motion. Mechanisms in Motion Machines are designed to produce useful work by changing (transforming) energy from one form to ano
