1. A Mathematical Model of Motion
Chapter 5
Sections 1 and 2

2. Objectives Quiz 4
Interpret graphs of position versus time for a moving object to determine the velocity of the object
Describe the information presented in graphs and draw graphs from descriptions of motion
Write equations that describe the position of an object moving at constant velocity

3. Objectives Quiz 4
Determine from a graph of velocity versus time, the velocity of an object at a specified time
Interpret a v-t graph to find the time at which an object has a specific velocity
Calculate the displacement of an object from the area under a v-t curve

4. Position-Time Graphs Shows where the object is at time intervals
X is time (Independent Variable)
Y is position (Dependent Variable)
Slope is velocity (Rise over Run, D over T)
No slope is no movement
Large slope is large velocity

5. Velocity Graphs Show rate of change in position
When flat, constant velocity
When line falling, slowing down (or speeding up in reverse direction)
When line falling, speeding up
Area under graph is displacement

6. Acceleration Graphs Show change in velocity
When line is straight, Constant acceleration
When line is flat, No Acceleration
When line is rising, increasing velocity
When line is falling, decreasing velocity

7. Connect Slope of Distance-Time graph is velocity
Slope of Velocity-Time graph is acceleration
Derivatives

8. Graph A
What is the velocity of the object from 2 – 4 seconds?

9. Graph A
What is the average velocity of the object?

10. Graph A
At what time's does the object have a negative acceleration?

11. Graph A At what time is the object located at 11 m?
How many significant digits?

12. Draw a Position-Time Graph
A man
walks at a constant velocity of 2.0 m/s for 5 seconds.
The man stops for 3 seconds.
The man resumes his walk but walks slower at 1.0 m/s for 5 seconds

14. Draw a Position-Time Graph
A Dragster in a race

27. Velocity-Time Graphs Shows objects velocity at time intervals
Y is Velocity
X is Time
No slope is constant speed
Positive slope is Positive acceleration
Large slope is large acceleration

38. Velocity vs Time

39. Distance vs Time

40. Draw a D-T and V-T graph from situation described
A car is driving down the road at 55 mph and gets a flat tire. The car slows down to a stop. The driver changes the tire and then continues driving and moves at 35 mph.

41. Draw a D-T and V-T graph from situation described
A bullet is fired from a gun and travels 1000 meters in one second before hitting a solid target.

42. Draw a D-T and V-T graph from situation described
At basketball practice, coach has you run the down and backs the length of the court. You do 3 down and backs with each trip taking slightly longer than the last

43. Position Time Fastest object? Stopped object? Negative velocity?
Accel?

44. Velocity Time (mid line 0, above positive)
Slowest?
Fastest?
Stopped?
+ Accel
- Accel
