  2. AQA GCSE Specification DESCRIBING MOVEMENT 12.1 How can we describe the way things move? Using skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works: • to construct distance-time graphs for a body moving in a straight line when the body is stationary or moving with a constant speed • to construct velocity-time graphs for a body moving with a constant velocity or a constant acceleration HT to calculate the speed of a body from the slope of a distance-time graph HT to calculate the acceleration of a body from the slope of a velocity-time graph HT to calculate the distance travelled by a body from a velocity-time graph. Skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works set in the context of: • The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed. • The velocity of a body is its speed in a given direction. • The acceleration of a body is given by: acceleration = change in velocity / time taken for change • The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration. • The area under a velocity-time graph represents distance travelled.

  3. Speed speed = distance time In physics speed is usually measured in: metres per second (m/s)

  4. speed x time also: distance = and: time = distance distance speed speed time

  5. Speed Conversions 1 kilometre per hour (km/h) = 1000 metres per hour but 1 hour = 3600 seconds therefore 1 km/h = 1000m ÷ 3600 s 1 km/h = 0.28 m/s and 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h Also: 100 km/h = approx 63 m.p.h

  6. Question 1 Calculate the speed of a car that covers 500m in 20s. speed = distance time = 500m / 20s = 25 m/s (about 60 mph)

  7. Question 2 Sound waves travel at about 340m/s through air. How far will a sound wave travel in one minute? distance = speed x time = 340 m/s x 1 minute = 340 m/s x 60 seconds = 20 400 m (20.4 km or about 13 miles)

  9. Distance-time graphs

  10. distance fast slow time The slope or gradientof a distance-time graph is increases with speed.

  11. The slope or gradientof a distance-time graph is equal to the speed. In the graph opposite: slope = 150m / 10s = 15 m/s = speed

  12. lorry distance bus car time Question 1 Sketch on the same set of axes distance-time graphs for: (a) a car moving at a steady speed, (b) a bus moving at a steady speed greater than the car, (c) a lorry increasing in speed from rest.

  13. Question 2 Describe the motion of the three lorries X, Y and Z shown in the graph below.

  14. Lorry X: Moving quickest speed = 45000m / 1800s = 25 m/s Lorry Y: speed = 36000m / 1800s = 20 m/s Lorry Z: Moving slowest 0 to 600s; speed = 10000m / 600s = 16.7 m/s 600 to 1200s; stationary 1200 to 1800s; speed = 16.7 m/s average speed = 20000m / 1800s = 11.1 m/s

  15. Choose appropriate words to fill in the gaps below: Speed is equal to ________ divided by time and can be measured in _________ per second. A speed of 20 m/s is the same as ______ km/h which is approximately equal to ______ mph. The _________ of a distance against time graph can be used to calculate ________. The greater the gradient of the line the __________ is the speed. The line will be ___________ when the speed is zero. distance metres 72 40 slope speed higher horizontal WORD SELECTION: slope speed distance horizontal 40 higher 72 metres

  16. Distance-time graphsNotes questions from pages 120 & 121 • Copy the equation for speed, along with the units used, at the bottom of page 120. • Copy Figure 2 on page 120 and explain how a distance-time graph can be used to find speed. • Copy and answer question (a) on page 120. • Copy Figure 3 on page 121 and then copy and answer questions (b), (c) and (d) on page 121. • Copy the Key Points on page 121. • Answer the summary questions on page 121.

  17. In text questions: It would not have been as steep. 25 m/s 600 s 11.1 m/s Summary questions: (a) Speed (b) Speed, distance. (c) Speed. (a) 30 m/s (b) 9000 m Distance-time graphs ANSWERS

  18. Velocity The velocity of a body is its speed in a given direction. The airplane opposite may loop at a constant speed but its velocity changes as its direction of motion changes.

  19. Question A stone dropped off the top of a cliff falls down by 20m in 2s. Calculate its average velocity (a) downwards and (b) horizontally. (a) average speed downwards = 20m / 2s = 10m/s Therefore velocity downwards = 10 m/s (b) average speed horizontally = 0m / 2s = 0m/s Therefore velocity horizontally = 0 m/s

  20. Acceleration acceleration = velocity change time taken acceleration is measured in: metres per second squared (m/s2)

  21. Why is acceleration measured in m/s2 ? acceleration = velocity change time taken velocity change is measured in m/s time taken is measured in s therefore acceleration = m/s ÷ s = m/s2

  22. Other notes: 1. Speed and velocity: Often, but not always, speed can be used in the equation. 2. Change in velocity: = final velocity – initial velocity 3. Deceleration: This is where the speed is decreasing with time. 4. Circular motion at a constant speed: Acceleration is occurring because the direction of motion is continually changing and hence so is velocity.

  23. Question 1 Complete the table below for an airplane accelerating at 8m/s2.

  24. Question 2 Calculate the acceleration of a car that changes in velocity from 5m/s to 25m/s in 4 seconds. acceleration = velocity change time taken = (25m/s – 5m/s) / 4s = 20 / 4 acceleration = 5 m/s2

  25. Question 3 Calculate the final velocity of a train that accelerates at 0.3m/s2 for 60 seconds from an initial velocity of 5m/s. acceleration = velocity change time taken becomes: velocity change = acceleration x time taken = 0.3m/s2 x 60s = 18m/s therefore final train velocity = 5m/s + 18m/s = 23 m/s

  26. Question 4 Calculate the deceleration of a car that slows down from 18m/s to rest in 3 seconds. acceleration = velocity change time taken = (0m/s – 18m/s) / 3s = -18 / 3 (notice minus sign) acceleration = - 6 m/s2 and so deceleration = 6 m/s2 Note: Deceleration is the negative of acceleration.

  47. They were base on non-scientific evidence. It could be hearsay or even prejudice. It is unlikely that ALL cars exceeded the speed limit. Difficult to prove a casual relationship here. Evidence would be needed from both before and after the installation of road bumps at both sites. Time for cars to cover a suitable distance recorded. Speed = distance / time. Survey should be carried out at sample times at regular intervals during the day, for example 10 minutes every hour. A fair test with valid results. As many as possible, but at least 10 in each sample. A preliminary test could be used to determine the best number and how often. No. Otherwise drivers might behave differently. This is part of the control in such surveys. How Science WorksANSWERS
