Lesson 7:
MOTION IN 2D – A SCALE DIAGRAM APPROACH
Learning Goals:
1. Objects can move in two dimensions (a horizontal plane + a vertical plane).
2. The Compass Rose can be used to express directions in a horizontal plane.
3. To determine total displacement in two dimensions, displacement vectors can be added together using a scale diagram.
