The Framing Routine
The first main topic is
Physics Phrog
Distance and Displacement

• Distance is a measure of how far something has
  traveled.

• Displacement is measure of how far something is
  from its original starting position.

What are some important details about this topic?

• Units for distance and displacement are

Meters
Kilometers
Feet
Miles

• Distance is a scalar quantitywhich means that a
  direction IS NOT necessary.

• Displacement is a vector quantitywhich means
  that a direction IS necessary.

Acceleration and Gravity

• Acceleration is the rate at which velocity
  changes.

• Acceleration is a vector quantitydirection is
  important.

What are some important details about this topic?

• When an object increases velocity, it
  accelerates.

• When an object decreases velocity, it decelerates.

• Units for acceleration are

Meters/second2
feet/second2

• The acceleration due to gravity is called g.

• The value of g on Earth is9.8 m/s2 or 32ft/s2.
