Presentation Transcript

  1. 9/30/14 Velocity graphs • Science podcast: Changing Foliage • Discuss motion graphs from running activity • What do constant velocity and changing velocity graphs look like? • Fan cart activity • Making a velocity vs time graph

  2. Learning Objectives • Sketch a graph of uniform, speeding up, or slowing down motion • Apply the definition of velocity to solve for an unknown • Interpret the components of the equation of a velocity vs time graph

  3. Constant velocity • The car moves equal intervals in equal amounts of time. • Car is not speeding up or slowing down (or changing direction). • Graph is a straight line. See example. • How do we know the car is not speeding up or slowing down between data points?

  4. Increasing velocity • The car moves increasing distances in equal amounts of time. • Graph is a upward curve. • How do we know the car is not constant or slowing down between data points? • Compare different cars. • Go over homework from yesterday

  5. Fan Cart Activity • Today you will get a car that speeds up. Please be careful of the propeller. It can pinch your finger. • You will also get a tape timer, a device that puts a mark on a paper every 0.1 s or 0.025 s. • Attach about 1 m of tape to the back of your cart. • Make a data table with about 10 position and corresponding time values. Don’t use every point! • Use Excel to make a position vs. time and velocity vs. time graph for your car. I have put an Excel worksheet template on the course website • http://cwuphys106.pbworks.com/

  6. Graphing motion • To make a position vs time graph, plot time along the x-axis and position along the y-axis. • To make a velocity vstime graph, plot time along the x-axis and velocity along the y-axis. • Determine the best fit curve using Excel (either linear or polynomial) • Email to palmquis@cwu.edu Sample data

  7. Sample Velocity vs. time graph • The line equation is y = mx + b • What are y, x, m, b? • Here y is velocity, x is time, m describes the rate of speeding up, and b is initial velocity

  8. Revisit Motion pretest • Does today’s activity help us answer any of the Motion pretest items? • How do we know if there is acceleration? • When the velocity does not change. • Item 6 on the pretest asks about this.
