1.1  Bodies can move describing different paths


The path the body describes with its movement is called TRAJECTORY

You can see below different types of trajectories:

The bicycle always followed a rectilinear   trajectory

The motorbike continually followed the bends of the circuit
Rectilinear trajectories
  

Curvilinear trajectories

 

Different types of movement
 . Trajectory and speed
 . Find out how it moves
Uniform movement
 . Constant speed
 . How fast is it going?
 . Data table
 . Circular
 . Compare the speeds
Varied movements
 . How fast is it going?
Representations of movements
 . Vectors
 . Tables and graphs of Uniform Mov.
 . Tables and graphs of Varied Mov.
