© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Consider a movie of a moving object.  A movie camera takes photographs at a fixed rate (i.e., 30 photographs every second).  Each separate photo is called a frame.  The car is in a different position in each frame.  Shown are four frames in a filmstrip. Making a Motion Diagram Slide 1-20

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Cut individual frames of the filmstrip apart.  Stack them on top of each other.  This composite photo shows an object’s position at several equally spaced instants of time.  This is called a motion diagram. Making a Motion Diagram Slide 1-21

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  An object that has a single position in a motion diagram is at rest.  Example: A stationary ball on the ground.  An object with images that are equally spaced is moving with constant speed.  Example: A skateboarder rolling down the sidewalk. Examples of Motion Diagrams Slide 1-22

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  An object with images that have increasing distance between them is speeding up.  Example: A sprinter starting the 100 meter dash.  An object with images that have decreasing distance between them is slowing down.  Example: A car stopping for a red light. Examples of Motion Diagrams Slide 1-23

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  A motion diagram can show more complex motion in two dimensions.  Example: A jump shot from center court.  In this case the ball is slowing down as it rises, and speeding up as it falls. Examples of Motion Diagrams Slide 1-24

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Often motion of the object as a whole is not influenced by details of the object’s size and shape.  We only need to keep track of a single point on the object.  So we can treat the object as if all its mass were concentrated into a single point.  A mass at a single point in space is called a particle.  Particles have no size, no shape and no top, bottom, front or back.  Below is a motion diagram of a car stopping, using the particle model. The Particle Model Slide 1-27

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Three motion diagrams are shown. Which is a dust particle settling to the floor at constant speed, which is a ball dropped from the roof of a building, and which is a descending rocket slowing to make a soft landing on Mars? A.(a) is dust, (b) is ball, (c) is rocket. B.(a) is ball, (b) is dust, (c) is rocket. C.(a) is rocket, (b) is dust, (c) is ball. D.(a) is rocket, (b) is ball, (c) is dust. E.(a) is ball, (b) is rocket, (c) is dust. QuickCheck 1.2 Slide 1-29

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  In a motion diagram it is useful to add numbers to specify where the object is and when the object was at that position.  Shown is the motion diagram of a basketball, with 0.5 s intervals between frames.  A coordinate system has been added to show ( x, y ).  The frame at t  0 is frame 0, when the ball is at the origin.  The ball’s position in frame 4 can be specified with coordinates ( x 4, y 4 )  (12 m, 9 m) at time t 4  2.0 s. Position and Time Slide 1-31

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Another way to locate the ball is to draw an arrow from the origin to the point representing the ball.  You can then specify the length and direction of the arrow.  This arrow is called the position vector of the object.  The position vector is an alternative form of specifying position.  It does not tell us anything different than the coordinates ( x, y ). Position as a Vector Slide 1-32

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Sam’s initial position is the vector.  Vector is his position after he finishes walking.  Sam has changed position, and a change in position is called a displacement.  His displacement is the vector labeled. Vector Addition Example: Displacement Slide 1-34 Sam is standing 50 ft east of the corner of 12 th Street and Vine. He then walks northeast for 100 ft to a second point. What is Sam’s change of position?

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  The displacement of an object as it moves from an initial position to a final position is  The definition of involves vector subtraction.  With numbers, subtraction is the same as the addition of a negative number.  Similarly, with vectors Definition of Displacement Slide 1-35 The negative of a vector.

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Different observers may choose different coordinate systems and different clocks, however, all observers find the same values for the displacement  and the time interval  t. Time Interval Slide 1-41 A stopwatch is used to measure a time interval.   It’s useful to consider a change in time.   An object may move from an initial position at time t i to a final position at time t f.

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. To quantify an object’s fastness or slowness, we define a ratio:  Average speed does not include information about direction of motion.  The average velocity of an object during a time interval  t, in which the object undergoes a displacement , is the vector: Average Speed, Average Velocity Slide 1-42 The victory goes to the runner with the highest average speed.

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  The velocity vector is in the same direction as the displacement .  The length of is directly proportional to the length of .  Consequently, we may label the vectors connecting the dots on a motion diagram as velocity vectors.  Below is a motion diagram for a tortoise racing a hare.  The arrows are average velocity vectors.  The length of each arrow represents the average speed. Motion Diagrams with Velocity Vectors Slide 1-43

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Sometimes an object’s velocity is constant as it moves.  More often, an object’s velocity changes as it moves.  Acceleration describes a change in velocity.  Consider an object whose velocity changes from to during the time interval ∆ t.  The quantity is the change in velocity.  The rate of change of velocity is called the average acceleration: Acceleration Slide 1-45 The Audi TT accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 6 s.

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Notice that the acceleration vectors goes beside the dots, not beside the velocity vectors.  That is because each acceleration vector is the difference between two velocity vectors on either side of a dot. Tactics: Finding the Acceleration Vector Slide 1-47

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  When an object is speeding up, the acceleration and velocity vectors point in the same direction.  When an object is slowing down, the acceleration and velocity vectors point in opposite directions.  An object’s velocity is constant if and only if its acceleration is zero.  In the motion diagrams to the right, one object is speeding up and the other is slowing down, but they both have acceleration vectors toward the right. Speeding Up or Slowing Down? Slide 1-53

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. A cyclist riding at 20 mph sees a stop sign and actually comes to a complete stop in 4 s. He then, in 6 s, returns to a speed of 15 mph. Which is his motion diagram? QuickCheck 1.6 Slide 1-54

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. A ball is tossed straight up in the air. At its very highest point, the ball’s acceleration vector A.Points up. B.Is zero. C.Points down. QuickCheck 1.7 Slide 1-60 In fact, the acceleration vector points down as the ball rises, at the highest point, and as it falls.

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. The motion diagram shows a particle that is slowing down. The sign of the position x and the sign of the velocity v x are: A.Position is positive, velocity is positive. B.Position is positive, velocity is negative. C.Position is negative, velocity is positive. D.Position is negative, velocity is negative. QuickCheck 1.8 Slide 1-61

QuickCheck 1.10 Slide 1-69 Vertical motion About 150 feet in 50 s

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. A new building requires careful planning. The architect’s visualization and drawings have to be complete before the detailed procedures of construction get under way. The same is true for solving problems in physics.  Physics problems are often presented using words, which can be imprecise or ambiguous.  Part of problem-solving involves using symbols and drawings to create a representation, which is clear and precise.  A verbal representation is a problem statement or re-statement using words.  A pictorial representation includes motion diagrams, coordinate systems, simple drawings, and symbols.  A graphical representation uses graphs when appropriate.  A mathematical representation uses specific equations which must be solved. Solving Problems in Physics Slide 1-70

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  Science is based on experimental measurements, and measurements require units.  The system of units in science is called le Système Internationale d’unités or SI units.  The SI unit of time is the second, abbreviated s.  1 s is defined as the time required for 9,192,631,770 oscillations of the radio wave absorbed by a cesium-133 atom.  The SI unit of length is the meter, abbreviated m.  1 m is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum during 1/299,292,458 of a second. Units Slide 1-78 An atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the primary standard of time.

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  The SI unit of mass is the kilogram, abbreviated kg.  1 kg is defined as the mass of the international standard kilogram, a polished platinum- iridium cylinder stored in Paris.  Many lengths, times, and masses are either much less or much greater than the standards of 1 m, 1 s, and 1 kg.  We use prefixes to denote various powers of 10, which make it easier to talk about quantities. Units Slide 1-79

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  It is important to be able to convert back and forth between SI units and other units.  One effective method is to write the conversion factor as a ratio equal to one.  Because multiplying by 1 does not change a value, these ratios are easily used for unit conversions.  For example, to convert the length 2.00 feet to meters, use the ratio:  So that: Unit Conversions Slide 1-80

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  When problem solving, it is important to decide whether or not your final answer “makes sense.”  For example, if you are working a problem about automobile speeds and reach an answer of 35 m/s, is this a realistic speed?  The table shows some approximate conversion factors that can be used to assess answers.  Using 1 m/s ≈ 2 mph, you find that 35 m/s is roughly 20 mph, a reasonable speed for a car.  If you reached an answer of 350 m/s, this would correspond to an unreasonable 700 mph, indicating that perhaps you made a calculation error. Assessment Slide 1-81

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  It’s important in science and engineering to state clearly what you know about a situation—no less, and no more.  For example, if you report a length as 6.2 m, you imply that the actual value is between 6.15 m and 6.25 m and has been rounded to 6.2.  The number 6.2 has two significant figures.  More precise measurement could give more significant figures.  The appropriate number of significant figures is determined by the data provided.  Calculations follow the “weakest link” rule: The input value with the smallest number of significant figures determines the number of significant figures to use in reporting the output value. Significant Figures Slide 1-82

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.  In many cases a very rough estimate of a number is sufficient.  A one-significant-figure estimate or calculation is called an order-of- magnitude estimate.  An order-of-magnitude estimate is indicated by the symbol ~, which indicates even less precision than ≈. Orders of Magnitude and Estimating Slide 1-86 Some approximate lengths and masses Distance you can drive in 1 hour ~10 5 m Distance across a college campus ~1000 m Length of your arm~1 m Length of your little fingernail~0.01 m Thickness of a sheet of paper ~10 –4 m Small car~1000 kg Large human~100 kg Science textbook~1 kg Apple~0.1 kg Raisin~10 –3 kg

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Rank in order, from the most to the least, the number of significant figures in the following numbers. For example, if b has more than c, c has the same number as a, and a has more than d, you would give your answer as b > c = a > d. a. 8200 b. 0.0052 c. 0.430 d. 4.321 × 10 –10 A.d > c > b = a B.a = b = d > c C.b = d > c > a D.d > c > a > b E.a = d > c > b QuickCheck 1.11 Slide 1-87
