I don’t remember class very well. Seemed like it went reasonably smoothly and was lots of student engagement. Need to spend a bit more time on reading x and y values from graph and getting slope. Maybe make them do as a clicker question. Here and more later there was lots of confusion about signs of position and velocity and direction. Need to use sign reversal feature of moving man to clarify. See comments on class#3.

Pick up Tuesday’s handouts at the front of the room: Syllabus (1 st 2 pages) & Seating chart. Please find your assigned seat. Have a new clicker …. Test it out - push button, find your number No clicker? Bookstore to have more Monday. If no clicker, today only fill in bubble sheet and turn in at end of class.

Motion Understand motions around us … balls, cars, bikes, people, atoms …. But before how or why … We need to be able to describe motion… words, graphs, equations

Reading quiz. chapters 1.1 and 1.2 (read before class, learn more) 1. The physics topic that is the primary focus of chap. 1.2 is a) the theory of gravity b) how air resistance affects falling objects c) the motion of dropped or thrown objects d) the relationship between English and metric units of mass e) the physics behind how baseball pitchers can throw curve balls 2) If you push on two bowling balls with the same force, but one has half the mass of the other, then … ? a.both masses accelerate the same b.the low mass ball accelerates faster than the high mass ball. c.the high mass ball accelerates faster than the low mass ball. d.none of the above. 3) If the two bowling balls fell off a table at the same time: a) Both would fall with the same constant velocity all the way to floor. b) The heavy ball would accelerate more rapidly. c) The light ball would accelerate more rapidly. d) Both would fall with the same acceleration.

Human Motion Demo 2: Sketch velocity vs. time graph for 1) Person moving away from origin (motion detector) at steady velocity on left. 2) Person moving toward origin (mot. det.) at steady velocity on right. Velocity time feet Velocity is a vector. Magnitude (length) gives speed. Pointing direction gives sign. (positive or negative) away toward

Velocity time feet Velocity is a vector. Magnitude (length) gives speed. Pointing direction gives sign. (positive or negative)

What is the difference between “speed” and “velocity”? 1. You are driving 60 miles per hour north. 2. You are driving 60 miles per hour. a. both give your speed, can’t tell your velocity. b. 2. gives speed, 1. gives velocity. c. both are giving your velocity. d. 2 gives velocity, 1. gives your speed. ans. b. 1. gives speed and direction = velocity. 2. gives only your speed, but since direction not specified, do not know velocity. if speed is constant 60 mph, can velocity be changing? yes! driving in circle. direction changing = velocity changing = accelerating!

How does position (distance) vs time relate to velocity vs time? Velocity graph is slope of position graph. 1 meter 0 position time velocity time 2 s 4 s -0.5 m/s m/s What does velocity graph look like? man walking, with cursors, web demo. Velocity at 2 s is: a) 1 m/s b) -1 m/s c) 0.5 m/s d) -0.5 m/s e) - 1/6 m/s

Velocity (v) = change in position = distance traveled time elapsed time it took Position = Starting position + change in position Position = Starting position + velocity x time x = x initial + vt Equations also help us describe and think about motion V is slope of position vs time graph 1 meter 0 distance 2 s 4 s time = 1 second position = 1 meter time = 3 second position = 0 meter Change in Position = -1 meter Time elapsed = 2 seconds Velocity = -1 meter = -0.5 m/s 2 seconds How do you know direction?

What if velocity is changing? … Accelerating Acceleration (a) = change in velocity time elapsed Velocity = Starting velocity + change in velocity Velocity = Starting velocity + acceleration x time v = v initial + at And now Position = initial position + (average velocity) x time x = x initial + v initial t + ½ at 2 And Distance traveled = (average velocity) x time = v initial t + ½ at 2 Check with moving man graphs, or cart data to see if true. Equations also help us describe and think about motion A is slope of velocity vs time graph =v initial + ½(change in velocity) =v initial + ½at
