Can an object accelerate but have a negative value (magnitude)? Ex m/s2
Instructions: Answer in a complete sentence/provide an example.

3. Lab analysis
How did the speed change over time for each runner?
How did the acceleration of each runner compare to each other?
Predict what a speed vs time graph would look like with your data.
When you begin to graph distance vs time, you will have to renumber your axes.

4. Wednesday: Pg. 24(if no room on 18)
Pick up the pumpkin carving contest
paper on the table.
If distance wasn’t measured in the track activity, how could you use acceleration, time and velocity to determine it?
Instructions: Write answer in complete sentence or you can use an equation to show how you would solve for it (it is ok to make up numbers for the variables).

5. Graph Analysis Was the prediction you made in #3 correct?
Compare the lines for the two runners on your distance vs time graph.
Compare the lines for the two runners on your velocity vs time graph.
Choose one runner, does his line on the distance vs time graph look the same as his line on the velocity vs time graph? Why or why not?

6. Chp. 2 Section 2
Acceleration

7. RECAP! Speed is the magnitude of velocity
Velocity must include direction which can be positive or negative
Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity
Speed has distance and velocity has displacement
A graph can be used to determine if speed/velocity is constant or changing

8. Why are roller coasters so much fun to ride?
It is a combination of fast velocities and changes in velocity, or acceleration.

9. aav t v = aav = average acceleration; v = change in velocity;
The average acceleration of an object is defined
to be the ratio of its change in velocity to the
time taken to change the velocity. v
aav = t
aav = average acceleration;
in units of m/s2 ; length/time2
v = change in velocity;
in units of m/s; length/ time
t = change in time;
in units of s; time

10. Velocity and Acceleration
Copy table. We will use it to answer the questions that follows.

11. If a baseball has zero velocity at some instant, is the acceleration of the baseball necessarily zero at that instant?
If a passenger train is traveling on a straight track with a negative velocity and a positive acceleration, is it speeding up or slowing down?
When Jennifer is out for a ride, she slows down on her bike as she approaches a group of hikers on a trail. Explain how her acceleration can be positive even though her speed is decreasing.

12. Important basic facts when working with acceleration:
If an objects starts from rest,
its initial velocity is 0.
If an object stops, its final
velocity is 0.
If an objects falls in the air,
it is accelerated by gravity
at -9.8 m/s2.

13. The slope and shape of the graph describe the object’s motion

14. Draw Graph in Journal

17. Motion with constant acceleration
KINEMATIC
When velocity increases by exactly the same amount during each time interval, acceleration is constant;
Constant distance equal constant velocity equal constant accelereation

18. There are many formulas associated with acceleration
vf = vi + at
x = ½ (vf + vi)t
x = vit + ½at2
Vf2 = vi2 + 2ax
No x
No a
No vf
No t

plane to be able to take off?

20. Given: vi= 0 m/s; t= 15s; a = 4.8m/s2
A plane starting at rest at one end of a runway undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.8m/s2 for 15s before takeoff. What is its speed at takeoff? How long must the runway be for the plane to be able to take off?
Part A:
Given: vi= 0 m/s; t= 15s; a = 4.8m/s2
Formula: vf = vi + a∆t
Substitution: vf= 0 + (4.8m/s2)(15s)
Answer w/unit: 72.0m/s
Formula: ∆x = vi∆t + ½ a(∆t)2
Part B:
Substitution: ∆x = 0(15) + ½ (4.8) (152)

22. Which equation would I use?
Use this equation when you want to find the final velocity of a uniformly accelerated
object without knowing how long it has been accelerating.

accelerating at a rate 0.500m/s1. What is the velocity
of the stroller after it has traveled 4.75m?
Given: a=0.500m/s2; vi = 0m/s; x= 4.75m
Formula: vf2= vi2 + 2a∆x
Substitution vf2= 0 + 2(0.500m/s2)(4.75m)
