  1. Chapter 2 Motion in a Straight Line

  2. Linear motion • In this chapter we will consider moving objects: • Along a straight line • With every portion of an object moving in the same direction and at the same rate (particle-like motion)

  3. Distance, position, and displacement • Distance a total length of the path traveled regardless of direction (SI unit: m) • In each instance we choose an origin – a reference point, convenient for further calculations • Position of an object is described by the shortest distance from the origin and direction relative to the origin • Displacement – a change from position x1 to position x2

  4. Velocity and speed • Average speed - a ratio of distance traveled (over a time interval) to that time interval (SI unit: m/s) • Average velocity - a ratio of displacement (over a time interval) to that time interval • Instantaneous velocity – velocity at a given instant • Instantaneous speed – a magnitude of an instantaneous velocity

  5. Velocity and speed

  6. Velocity and speed

  7. Instantaneous velocity • The instantaneous velocity is the slope of the line tangent to the x vs. t curve • This would be the green line • The light blue lines show that as Δt gets smaller, they approach the green line

  8. Acceleration • Average acceleration - a ratio of change of velocity (over a time interval) to that time interval (SI unit = (m/s)/s = m/s2) • Instantaneous acceleration – a rate of change of velocity at a given instant

  9. Acceleration • The blue line is the average acceleration • The slope (green line) of the velocity-time graph is the acceleration

  10. Chapter 2 Problem 43 You allow 40 min to drive 25 mi to the airport, but you’re caught in heavy traffic and average only 20 mi/h for the first 15 min. What must your average speed be on the rest of the trip if you’re to make your flight?

  11. Case of constant acceleration • Average and instantaneous accelerations are the same • Conventionally • Then

  12. Case of constant acceleration • Average and instantaneous accelerations are the same • Conventionally • Then

  13. Case of constant acceleration

  14. Case of constant acceleration

  15. Case of constant acceleration To help you solve problems

  16. Chapter 2 Problem 36 You’re driving at speed v0 when you spot a stationary moose on the road, a distance d ahead. Find an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration you need if you’re to stop before hitting the moose.

  17. Case of free-fall acceleration • At sea level of Earth’s mid-latitudes all objects fall (in vacuum) with constant (downward) acceleration of • a = - g ≈ - 9.8 m/s2≈ - 32 ft/s2 • Conventionally, free fall is along a vertical (upward) y-axis

  18. Chapter 2 Problem 37 You drop a rock into a deep well and 4.4 s later hear a splash. How far down is the water? Neglect the travel time of sound.
