An easy way to study motion is to make a video of a moving object. Each separate image is called a _frame_. When there is motion then the object is in a different position in the frame. Edit the video by layering each frame on top of each other. The frames should be equally spaced instants of time. >A motion diagram shows all the frames simultaneously. Note: It’s important to keep the camera in a fixed position as the object moves. Instead of showing the object as a whole, assume that all the mass were concentrated into a single point. This point is called a particle, which is represented by a dot. The model is the [[Particle Model|point particle model]]. ### Videos <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wetahDojIIs?si=SUeildmQ65R4dwHp" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jna6W5lOOzs?si=U1_5MtfBATB6pGuB" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> --- Return [[Home|Home]] | [[Mechanics]] | [[Notes Vault/Physics Notes Vault/Kinematics/Kinematics|Kinematics]] | [[Motion Graphs]]
