What we will do today:

Learn how to revise and describe graphs of motion, including velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs, and how to draw and interpret them. Practice drawing v-t graphs for constant velocity, acceleration, and deceleration scenarios. Understand the relationship between velocity, acceleration, and displacement. This lesson also covers the motion of a bouncing ball and how to create a v-t graph for this scenario.

Presentation Transcript

  1. What we will do today: • Revise graphs of motion (eg velocity time graphs) • Describe the motion of an acceleration-time (a-t) graph. • Draw a-t graphs from the information obtained from v-t graphs.

  2. Velocity – time graphs • In your jotters / show-me boards draw the following v-t graphs: • Constant velocity. • Constant acceleration. • Constant decelaration.

  3. Graphs of Motion

  4. Note that in the following graphs, a = acceleration v = velocity s = displacement Just as the area under a speed-time graph gives the distance travelled, The area under a velocity-time graph gives the displacement.

  5. Graphs Showing Constant Acceleration a v s t t t 0 0 0

  6. Graphs Showing Constant Velocity a v s t t t 0 0 0

  7. Graphs Showing Constant Deceleration a v s t 0 t t 0 0

  8. Example • The following v-t graph is produced for a moving body: • Describe its movement at each point. • Draw the corresponding a-t graph (values must be included).

  9. Solution (a)

  10. Solution (b) • BC, DE, FG – all constant vel. therefore no accn. • Use a = v – u / t for all other accn. • AB: 10 – 0 / 2 = 5 ms-2 • CD: 0 – 10 / 1 = - 10 ms-2 • EF: -8 – 0 / 2 = - 4 ms-2 • GH: 0- (-8) / 1 = 8 ms-2

  17. Bouncing ball • When a ball is bouncing it is constantly changing direction. • As it moves upwards it has a high initial velocity that slows down to 0 at its maximum height. • As it travels downwards it starts at 0 but accelerates due to gravity (increasing its velocity) until it hits the ground and changes direction again. • A v-t graph for a bouncing ball will show motion both above and below the horizontal axis to show the constant change in direction.

  18. Bouncing ball simulation

  19. Example • Draw a v-t graph for the following scenario: • A girl fires a ball vertically into the air from the ground. The ball reaches its maximum height, falls, bounces and then rises to a new, lower, maximum height.

  20. Example

  22. Example

  23. Directions of travel • In our example we used the following: • below the horizontal axis as travelling upwards • Above the horizontal axis as travelling downwards • Be aware that questions may also use the opposite of the above. • The key thing to remember here is that when the graph crosses the horizontal axis this means the object has changed direction ie changing from up to down.
