1. Speed, velocity and acceleration

2. Motion When an object changes its position, motion has occurred. –Distance- How far an object has moved. –Displacement- How far an object has moved in relation to its starting point. –Consider direction Example: Two runners travel along the same straight path in a straight line for 500 meters. At the end of the run their distances are the same but their displacements are different. How can this be so?

3. 1Both Mr Rabbit and Mr Tortoise took the same round trip, but Mr Rabbit slept & returned later.

4. Comment on their their argument. Me, as I spent less time on the trip. No, I travelled longer distance every minute. Who runs faster?

5. SPEED Distance an object travels per unit of time Relationships between speed, distance, and time: Speed = Distance/ Time = d/ t »Constant Speed- speed does not change over time »Average Speed- speed of motion when speed is changing Avg Speed = Total Distance/ Total Time »Instantaneous Speed- speed at any given moment in time (speedometer)

6. Speed How can we describe how fast an object moves? A car on Tolo Highway travels 90 km in 1 hour. We say that the car travels at a speed of 90 km/h.

7. Speed Speed is a measure of how fast something moves. Speed = distance travelled per unit of time SI unit: m/s or km/h (for long distances) How can we describe how fast an object moves?

8. KINDS OF SPEED Average, Instantaneous, Constant

9. and speeds up again to 60 km/h Average speed Its average speed over the whole journey overall distance travelled total time of travel slows down to 0 km/h A car travels at 50 km/h =

10. Average speed does not tell the variations during the journey. On most trips, the speed at any instant is often different from the average speed.

11. Instantaneous speed speed at any instant The word ‘speed’ alone  instantaneous speed Instantaneous speed  distance travelled in an extremely short time interval Simulation

12. Speedometer tells the car’s speed at any instant! Instantaneous speed

15. Graphing Motion Graph distance on the y- axis and time on the x-axis Slope = rise = distance = speed run time run time

16. Distance - Time Graph If something is not moving, a horizontal line is drawn. If something starts out slow and then speeds up, its change in speed can look like this.

17. Learning Checkpoint This graph shows several stages of motion: Stage 1: 100 m in 10 s Stage 2: 50 m in 10 s Stage 3: 150 m in 20 s Calculate the speed as indicated by each of the colors. Calculate the average speed. What is the total distance? What is the displacement?

18. Solution Stage 1: S= d/ t 100 m/ 10 s= 10 m/s Stage 2: S= d/t 50 m/ 10 s= 5 m/s Stage 3: S= d/t 150 m/ 20 s= 7.5 m/s Ave Speed= Tot d/ Tot t 300 m/ 40 s= 7.5 m/s Distance = 300 meters Displacement = 0 meters

24. speed = 300 km/h direction = west Train drivers concern speed only. Speed with direction Pilots concern velocity (direction & speed). speed = 90 km/h

25. Average velocity Average velocity = overall displacement total time of travel direction of velocity = direction of overall displacement

26. Instantaneous velocity The velocity at any instant is called instantaneous velocity. If a car moves at a constant velocity... … its average and instantaneous velocities have the same value.

30. Terminal Velocity Terminal velocity- the velocity at which the upward force of air resistance equals the downward force of gravity. Once you reach this velocity you will no longer accelerate. (just stay at the same velocity) Parachutes increase your surface area to increase your air resistance in order to reduce your terminal velocity so you don’t die when you hit the ground.
