This lesson summarizes the main concepts involving one-dimensional motion problems, also known as rectilinear motion. Students learn to analyze motion using formulas, graphs, and tables. Several AP-type problems are provided. This lesson does not use integration to solve any of the problems.

This lesson is appropriate for both AP Calculus AB and BC.

Detailed answer keys are included.

The topics covered include:

-Position

-Distance and Displacement

-Average Velocity

-Instantaneous Velocity

-Speed and Velocity

-Average Acceleration

-Instantaneous Acceleration

-Practice with Motion Problems
