  1. Linear Motion Chapter 2

  2. Review time! • Remember when we were using math in physics….

  3. Vectors vs Scalars • Scalars are quantities that have a _______, or numeric value which represents a size Examples of these are:_______________ • Vectors are quantities which have a ___________ and a ______, Examples of these are:_______________

  4. Speeds Scalar Standard unit is m/s Velocityv Vector Standard unit is m/s, plus direction Measuring how fast you are going

  5. If it take the person 4 seconds to walk around the square, what is her average speed and average velocity? For speed, d=12m and t=4s, so v=3m/s For velocity, d=0 and t=4s, so v=0m/s Velocity and Speed

  6. Average velocity/speed A value summarizing the average of the entire trip. All that’s needed is total displacement/distance and total time. Instantaneous velocity A value that summarizes the velocity or speed of something at a given instant in time. What the speedometer in your car reads. Can change from moment to moment. Different types of velocity and speed

  7. Acceleration • Change in velocity over time. • Either hitting the gas or hitting the break counts as acceleration. • Units are m/s2 • delta. • Means “change in” and is calculated by subtracting the initial value from the final value.

  8. acceleration force force acceleration Acceleration(vector) • The rate of change in velocity. • Accelerations cannot happen with out the presence of a force (a push or a pull) • Acceleration will depend on the direction of this force • Constant acceleration is when, in a given amount of time, acceleration does not change

  9. Acceleration(continued) • Positive acceleration is caused by a force in the positive direction. • Depending on the initial movement of an object, a positive acceleration will either speed up or slow down an object. • if the object starts at rest or is already moving positively, it will speed up. • If the object is moving in the negative direction, a positive acceleration will slow the object down.

  10. Acceleration(continued) • Negative acceleration is caused by a force in the Negative direction. • Depending on the initial movement of an object, a negative acceleration will either speed up or slow down an object. • if the object starts at rest or is already moving negatively, it will speed up. • If the object is moving in the positive direction, a negative acceleration will slow the object down.

  11. Rules for using linear motion equations • We always assume that acceleration is constant. • We use vector quantities, not scalar quantities. • We always use instantaneous velocities, not average velocities • Direction of a vector is indicated by sign. Incorrect use of signs will result in incorrect answers.

  12. Practice Problem A car going 15m/s accelerates at 5m/s2 for 3.8s. How fast is it going at the end of the acceleration? First step is identifying the variables in the equation and listing them.

  13. Practice Problem 2 • A penguin slides down a glacier starting from rest, and accelerates at a rate of 7.6m/s2. If it reaches the bottom of the hill going 15m/s, how long does it take to get to the bottom?

  14. Equation for displacement Two versions of the same average velocity equations One more way to calculate average velocity Although this equation is not used often, it is important to derive other useful equations!

  15. Equation that doesn’t require vf Combine

  16. A ball rolling up a hill accelerates at –5.6m/s2 for 6.3s. If it is rolling at 50m/s initially, how far has it rolled? If a car accelerates at a rate of 4.64m/s2 and it travels 162m in 3s, how fast was it going initially? Practice Problems

  17. An equation not needing t Can you combine these two equations to get this one?

  18. A bowling ball is thrown at a speed of 6.8m/s. By the time it hits the pins 63m away, it is going 5.2m/s. What is the acceleration?

  19. The Big 3

  20. Problem Solving Steps • Draw a quick sketch • Identify givens in a problem and write them down. • Determine what is being asked for and write down with a questions mark. • Select an equation that uses the variables (known and unknown) you are dealing with and nothing else. • Solve the selected equation for the unknown. • Fill in the known values and solve equation • Make a chart like this one…if its helpful

  21. Gravity • Gravity causes an acceleration. • All objects have the same acceleration due to gravity. • Differences in falling speed/acceleration are due to air resistance, not differences in gravity. • g=9.8m/s2 down • When analyzing a falling object, consider final velocity before the object hits the ground and initial velocity the instant the object is dropped

  22. Hidden Variables • Objects falling through space can be assumed to accelerate at a rate of 9.8m/s2 down. • Starting from rest corresponds to a vi=0 • Coming to a stop corresponds with a vf=0 • A change in direction indicates that at some point v=0. • Dropped objects have no initial velocity.

  23. Practice Problem • A ball is dropped and hits the ground with a velocity of at a speed of 25m/s. How far has it traveled when it reaches the ground?

  24. A plane slows on a runway from 207km/hr to 35km/hr in about 5.27km. a. What is its acceleration? b. How long does it take?

  25. An onion falls off an 84m high cliff. How long does it take him to hit the ground?

  26. An onion is thrown off of the same cliff at 9.5m/s straight up. How long does it take him to hit the ground?

  27. A train engineer notices a cow on the track when he is going 40.7m/s. If he can decelerate at a rate of -1.4m/s2 and the cow is 500m away, will he be able to stop in time to avoid hitting the cow?

  28. Practice Problems • A car slows from 45 m/s to 30m/s over 6.2s. How far does it travel in that time? • A cyclist speeds up from his 8.45m/s pace. As he accelerates, he goes 325m in 30s. What is his final velocity?
