Kinematics Test

Sam Adams

American revolutionary leader, known for harnessing resentment from colonists against Parliament, helped draft the Declaration of Independence; Sons of Liberty

Paul Revere

Night ride to Lexington, warned Patriots of a British attack, organizer of Boston Tea Party, painted propaganda of Boston Massacre

Deborah Sampson

joined Continental Army disguised as a man, discharged after being wounded in combat led to her discovery, chose army over marriage

Mercy Otis Warren

female poet who wrote on the American Revolution and feminism (equal education), inspired by Enlightenment

Culper Spy Ring

very successful spy network that gave Washington knowledge of British troop movements, led by Robert Townsend

Lexington & Concord

first skirmishes of Rev war, Thomas Gage leads British wanting to capture supplies and rebel leaders, patriots win because Paul Revere/Samuel Prescott/William Dawes ride to warn them in the middle of the night

Valley Forge

Constant cold/hunger/disease/bare-feet/few blanket, Washington organizes successful smallpox inoculation, soldiers trained by Steuben once better

Treaty of Paris

ends American Rev, British recognizes American independence & Americans gain land west until the Mississippi, British agree to this so they can focus on fighting France and Spain

Kinematics

The branch of physics associated with the description of motion

Position

The location of an object (units: m)

Velocity

The rate at which position changes with time (units: m/sec)

Acceleration

The rate at which velocity changes with time (units: m/sec^2)

Displacement

The change in position for an object between two times (units: m)

Distance

The magnitude of the change in position for an object between two times (units: m)

Speed

The magnitude of velocity (units: m/sec)

Average Velocity

The ratio of the change in position between two times and the time interval between them (units: m/sec)

Average Acceleration

The ratio of the change in velocity between two times and the time interval between them (units: m/sec^2)

Velocity

The slope of the position-time graph (units: m/sec)

Acceleration

The slope of the velocity-time graph (units: m/sec^2)

Change in Position

The area under the velocity-time graph (units: m)

Change in Velocity

The area under the acceleration-time graph (units: m/sec)
