After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

- define the terms motion, scalar and vector quantities, displacement, speed, velocity and acceleration,

- distinguish between
(a) rest and motion
(b) scalar and vector quantities
(c) speed and velocity;

- differentiate between uniform and non-uniform motion;

- plot and interpret the following graphs
(a) displacement – time graph for uniform motion,
(b) velocity – time graph for uniformly accelerated motion;

- establish three equations of motion;

- solve problems based on equations of motion.
