Motion Basics [IB Physics SL/HL]

This video introduces the basics of motion, focusing on distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. It provides definitions and examples to illustrate the relationships between these concepts, emphasizing the impact of sign and direction on interpreting motion. The video uses scenarios, such as a person walking in different directions and a cyclist accelerating, to explain scalar and vector quantities, average versus instantaneous values, and how these are represented graphically using distance-time and position-time graphs. The content also covers how positive and negative directions affect velocity and acceleration, and concludes with a summary of the key points.
