Chapter 2: One-Dimensional Motion • Motion at fixed velocity • Definition of average velocity • Motion with fixed acceleration • Graphical representations
Displacement vs. position Position: x (relative to origin) Displacement: Dx = xf-xi
Average velocity Average velocity • Can be positive or negative • Depends only on initial/final positions • e.g., if you return to original position, average velocity is zero
Instantaneous velocity Let time interval approach zero • Defined for every instance in time • Equals average velocity if v = constant • SPEED is absolute value of velocity
Graphical Representation of Average Velocity Between A and D , v is slope of blue line
Graphical Representation of Instantaneous Velocity v(t=3.0) is slope of tangent (green line)

Solving Problems with Eq.s of Motion 5 variables: x, t, v0, vf, a 2 equations: 3 variables must be given so that2 equations can solve for 2 unknowns
Example 2.6 Crash Houlihan speeds down the intersate, when she slams on the brakes and slides into a concrete barrier. The police measure skid marks to be 60 m long, and from a tape recording, know that she was breaking from 3.5 seconds. Furthermore, they know that her Mercedes would decelerate at 5.5 m/s2 while skidding. What was Crash’s speed when she hit the barrier? 7.52 m/s
