5. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Picturing Motion ●Draw motion diagrams to describe motion. ●Develop a particle model to represent a moving object. In this section you will: Section 2.1-1

6. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Picturing Motion Perceiving motion is instinctive—your eyes pay more attention to moving objects than to stationary ones. Movement is all around you. Movement travels in many directions, such as the straight-line path of a bowling ball in a lane’s gutter, the curved path of a tether ball, the spiral of a falling kite, and the swirls of water circling a drain. All Kinds of Motion Section 2.1-2

7. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Picturing Motion When an object is in motion, its position changes. Its position can change along the path of a straight line, a circle, an arc, or a back-and- forth vibration. All Kinds of Motion Section 2.1-3

8. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Picturing Motion A description of motion relates to place and time. You must be able to answer the questions of where and when an object is positioned to describe its motion. Movement Along a Straight Line Section 2.1-4

11. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Section Check Explain how applying the particle model produces a simplified version of a motion diagram? Question 1 Section 2.1-7

12. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Section Check Answer 1 Answer: Keeping track of the motion of the runner is easier if we disregard the movements of the arms and the legs, and instead concentrate on a single point at the center of the body. In effect, we can disregard the fact that the runner has some size and imagine that the runner is a very small object located precisely at that central point. A particle model is a simplified version of a motion diagram in which the object in motion is replaced by a series of single points. Section 2.1-8

13. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Section Check Which statement describes best the motion diagram of an object in motion? Question 2 A.a graph of the time data on a horizontal axis and the position on a vertical axis B.a series of images showing the positions of a moving object at equal time intervals C.a diagram in which the object in motion is replaced by a series of single points D.a diagram that tells us the location of the zero point of the object in motion and the direction in which the object is moving Section 2.1-9

14. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Section Check Reason: A series of images showing the positions of a moving object at equal time intervals is called a motion diagram. Answer 2 Section 2.1-10

15. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Section Check What is the purpose of drawing a motion diagram or a particle model? Question 3 A.to calculate the speed of the object in motion B.to calculate the distance covered by the object in a particular time C.to check whether an object is in motion D.to calculate the instantaneous velocity of the object in motion Section 2.1-11

16. Section 2.1 Section 2.1 Section Check Reason: In a motion diagram or a particle model, we relate the motion of the object with the background, which indicates that relative to the background, only the object is in motion. Answer 3 Section 2.1-12

17. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? End of Section 2.1

18. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? ●Define coordinate systems for motion problems. ●Recognize that the chosen coordinate system affects the sign of objects’ positions. ●Define displacement. ●Determine a time interval. ●Use a motion diagram to answer questions about an object’s position or displacement. In this section you will: Section 2.2-1

19. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? A coordinate system tells you the location of the zero point of the variable you are studying and the direction in which the values of the variable increase. The origin is the point at which both variables have the value zero. Coordinate Systems Section 2.2-2

20. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? In the example of the runner, the origin, represented by the zero end of the measuring tape, could be placed 5 m to the left of the tree. Coordinate Systems Section 2.2-3

21. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The motion is in a straight line, thus, your measuring tape should lie along that straight line. The straight line is an axis of the coordinate system. Coordinate Systems Section 2.2-4

22. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? You can indicate how far away an object is from the origin at a particular time on the simplified motion diagram by drawing an arrow from the origin to the point representing the object, as shown in the figure. Coordinate Systems Section 2.2-5

23. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The two arrows locate the runner’s position at two different times. Coordinate Systems Section 2.2-6

24. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The length of how far an object is from the origin indicates its distance from the origin. Coordinate Systems Section 2.2-7

25. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? Coordinate Systems The arrow points from the origin to the location of the moving object at a particular time. Section 2.2-8

26. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? A position 9 m to the left of the tree, 5 m left of the origin, would be a negative position, as shown in the figure below. Coordinate Systems Section 2.2-9

27. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? Quantities that have both size, also called magnitude, and direction, are called vectors, and can be represented by arrows. Quantities that are just numbers without any direction, such as distance, time, or temperature, are called scalars. Vectors and Scalars Section 2.2-10

28. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? To add vectors graphically, the length of a vector should be proportional to the magnitude of the quantity being represented. So it is important to decide on the scale of your drawings. The important thing is to choose a scale that produces a diagram of reasonable size with a vector that is about 5–10 cm long. Vectors and Scalars Section 2.2-11

29. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The vector that represents the sum of the other two vectors is called the resultant. The resultant always points from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the last vector. Vectors and Scalars Section 2.2-12

30. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The difference between the initial and the final times is called the time interval. Time Intervals and Displacement Section 2.2-13

31. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The common symbol for a time interval is ∆t, where the Greek letter delta, ∆, is used to represent a change in a quantity. Time Intervals and Displacement Section 2.2-14

32. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The time interval is defined mathematically as follows: Time Intervals and Displacement Although i and f are used to represent the initial and final times, they can be initial and final times of any time interval you choose. Section 2.2-15

33. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? Time Intervals and Displacement Also of importance is how the position changes. The symbol d may be used to represent position. In physics, a position is a vector with its tail at the origin of a coordinate system and its tip at the place where the object is located at that time. Section 2.2-16

34. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The figure below shows ∆d, an arrow drawn from the runner’s position at the tree to his position at the lamppost. Time Intervals and Displacement Section 2.2-17

35. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The change in position during the time interval between t i and t f is called displacement. Time Intervals and Displacement Section 2.2-18

36. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? The length of the arrow represents the distance the runner moved, while the direction the arrow points indicates the direction of the displacement. Displacement is mathematically defined as follows: Time Intervals and Displacement Displacement is equal to the final position minus the initial position. Section 2.2-19

37. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? To subtract vectors, reverse the subtracted vector and then add the two vectors. This is because A – B = A + (–B). The figure a below shows two vectors, A, 4 cm long pointing east, and B, 1 cm long also pointing east. Figure b shows –B, which is 1 cm long pointing west. The resultant of A and –B is 3 cm long pointing east. Time Intervals and Displacement Section 2.2-20

38. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? To determine the length and direction of the displacement vector, ∆d = d f − d i, draw −d i, which is d i reversed. Then draw d f and copy −d i with its tail at d f ’s tip. Add d f and −d i. Time Intervals and Displacement Section 2.2-21

39. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Where and When? To completely describe an object’s displacement, you must indicate the distance it traveled and the direction it moved. Thus, displacement, a vector, is not identical to distance, a scalar; it is distance and direction. While the vectors drawn to represent each position change, the length and direction of the displacement vector does not. The displacement vector is always drawn with its flat end, or tail, at the earlier position, and its point, or tip, at the later position. Time Intervals and Displacement Section 2.2-22

40. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Section Check Differentiate between scalar and vector quantities. Question 1 Section 2.2-23

41. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Section Check Answer 1 Answer: Quantities that have both magnitude and direction are called vectors, and can be represented by arrows. Quantities that are just numbers without any direction, such as time, are called scalars. Section 2.2-24

42. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Section Check What is displacement? Question 2 A.the vector drawn from the initial position to the final position of the motion in a coordinate system B.the distance between the initial position and the final position of the motion in a coordinate system C.the amount by which the object is displaced from the initial position D.the amount by which the object moved from the initial position Section 2.2-25

43. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Section Check Reason: Options B, C, and D are all defining the distance of the motion and not the displacement. Displacement is a vector drawn from the starting position to the final position. Answer 2 Section 2.2-26

44. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Section Check Refer to the adjoining figure and calculate the time taken by the car to travel from one signal to another signal? Question 3 A.20 min B.45 min C.25 min D.5 min Section 2.2-27

45. Section 2.2 Section 2.2 Section Check Reason: Time interval  t = t f – t i Here t f = 01:45 and t i = 01:20 Therefore,  t = 25 min Answer 3 Section 2.2-28

47. Section 2.3 Section 2.3 Position-Time Graphs ●Develop position-time graphs for moving objects. ●Use a position-time graph to interpret an object’s position or displacement. ●Make motion diagrams, pictorial representations, and position-time graphs that are equivalent representations describing an object’s motion. In this section you will: Section 2.3-1

48. Section 2.3 Section 2.3 Position-Time Graphs Click image to view movie. Section 2.3-2

49. Section 2.3 Section 2.3 Position-Time Graphs Graphs of an object’s position and time contain useful information about an object’s position at various times. It can be helpful in determining the displacement of an object during various time intervals. Using a Graph to Find Out Where and When Section 2.3-3

50. Section 2.3 Section 2.3 Position-Time Graphs Using a Graph to Find Out Where and When The data in the table can be presented by plotting the time data on a horizontal axis and the position data on a vertical axis, which is called a position-time graph. Section 2.3-4

51. Section 2.3 Section 2.3 Position-Time Graphs To draw the graph, plot the object’s recorded positions. Then, draw a line that best fits the recorded points. This line represents the most likely positions of the runner at the times between the recorded data points. Using a Graph to Find Out Where and When The symbol d represents the instantaneous position of the object—the position at a particular instant. Section 2.3-5

52. Section 2.3 Section 2.3 Position-Time Graphs Words, pictorial representations, motion diagrams, data tables, and position-time graphs are all representations that are equivalent. They all contain the same information about an object’s motion. Depending on what you want to find out about an object’s motion, some of the representations will be more useful than others. Equivalent Representations Section 2.3-6

67. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? End of Section 2.3

68. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? ●Define velocity. ●Differentiate between speed and velocity. ●Create pictorial, physical, and mathematical models of motion problems. In this section you will: Section 2.4-1

69. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Suppose you recorded two joggers in one motion diagram, as shown in the figure below. From one frame to the next, you can see that the position of the jogger in red shorts changes more than that of the one wearing blue. Velocity Section 2.4-2

70. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? In other words, for a fixed time interval, the displacement, ∆d, is greater for the jogger in red because she is moving faster. She covers a larger distance than the jogger in blue does in the same amount of time. Velocity Section 2.4-3

71. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Now, suppose that each jogger travels 100 m. The time interval, ∆t, would be smaller for the jogger in red than for the one in blue. Velocity Section 2.4-4

72. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Recall from Chapter 1 that to find the slope, you first choose two points on the line. Next, you subtract the vertical coordinate (d in this case) of the first point from the vertical coordinate of the second point to obtain the rise of the line. After that, you subtract the horizontal coordinate (t in this case) of the first point from the horizontal coordinate of the second point to obtain the run. Finally, you divide the rise by the run to obtain the slope. Average Velocity Section 2.4-5

73. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? The slopes of the two lines are found as follows: Average Velocity Section 2.4-6

74. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? The slopes of the two lines are found as follows: Average Velocity Section 2.4-6

75. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? The unit of the slope is meters per second. In other words, the slope tells how many meters the runner moved in 1 s. The slope is the change in position, divided by the time interval during which that change took place, or (d f - d i ) / (t f - t i ), or Δd/Δt. When Δd gets larger, the slope gets larger; when Δt gets larger, the slope gets smaller. Average Velocity Section 2.4-7

76. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? The slope of a position-time graph for an object is the object’s average velocity and is represented by the ratio of the change of position to the time interval during which the change occurred. Average Velocity Section 2.4-8

77. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Average Velocity Average velocity is defined as the change in position, divided by the time during which the change occurred. The symbol ≡ means that the left-hand side of the equation is defined by the right-hand side. Section 2.4-9

78. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? It is a common misconception to say that the slope of a position-time graph gives the speed of the object. The slope of the position- time graph on the right is –5.0 m/s. It indicates the average velocity of the object and not its speed. Average Velocity Section 2.4-10

79. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? The object moves in the negative direction at a rate of 5.0 m/s. Average Velocity Section 2.4-11

80. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? The absolute value of the slope on a position- time graph tells you the average speed of the object, that is, how fast the object is moving. Average Speed Section 2.4-12

81. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Average Speed If an object moves in the negative direction, then its displacement is negative. The object’s velocity will always have the same sign as the object’s displacement. Section 2.4-13

82. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Average Speed The graph describes the motion of a student riding his skateboard along a smooth, pedestrian-free sidewalk. What is his average velocity? What is his average speed? Section 2.4-14

86. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Average Speed Identify the unknown variables. Unknown: Section 2.4-18

87. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Average Speed Find the average velocity using two points on the line. Use magnitudes with signs indicating directions. Section 2.4-19

88. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Average Speed Substitute d 2 = 12.0 m, d 1 = 6.0 m, t 2 = 8.0 s, t 1 = 4.0 s: Section 2.4-20

89. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Step 3: Evaluate the Answer Average Speed Section 2.4-21

90. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Are the units correct? m/s are the units for both velocity and speed. Do the signs make sense? The positive sign for the velocity agrees with the coordinate system. No direction is associated with speed. Average Speed Section 2.4-22

91. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Average Speed The steps covered were: Section 2.4-23 Step 1: Analyze and Sketch the Problem Identify the coordinate system of the graph.

92. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Average Speed The steps covered were: Section 2.4-23 Step 2: Solve for the Unknown Find the average velocity using two points on the line. The average speed is the absolute value of the average velocity. Step 3: Evaluate the Answer

93. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? A motion diagram shows the position of a moving object at the beginning and end of a time interval. During that time interval, the speed of the object could have remained the same, increased, or decreased. All that can be determined from the motion diagram is the average velocity. The speed and direction of an object at a particular instant is called the instantaneous velocity. The term velocity refers to instantaneous velocity and is represented by the symbol v. Instantaneous Velocity Section 2.4-24

94. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Although the average velocity is in the same direction as displacement, the two quantities are not measured in the same units. Nevertheless, they are proportional—when displacement is greater during a given time interval, so is the average velocity. A motion diagram is not a precise graph of average velocity, but you can indicate the direction and magnitude of the average velocity on it. Average Velocity on Motion Diagrams Section 2.4-25

95. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Any time you graph a straight line, you can find an equation to describe it. Using Equations You cannot set two items with different units equal to each other in an equation. Section 2.4-26 Based on the information shown in the table, the equation y = mx + b becomes d = t + d i, or, by inserting the values of the constants, d = (–5.0 m/s)t + 20.0 m.

96. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? An object’s position is equal to the average velocity multiplied by time plus the initial position. Using Equations Section 2.4-27 Equation of Motion for Average Velocity

97. Section 2.4 Section 2.4 How Fast? Using Equations This equation gives you another way to represent the motion of an object. Note that once a coordinate system is chosen, the direction of d is specified by positive and negative values, and the boldface notation can be dispensed with, as in “d-axis.” Section 2.4-28
