3. n I think you should have the experience of shooting a basketball. How can you describe the motion of the basketball ? Introduction

4. Objectives n Represent the motion of a basketball by a x-t graph n Represent the motion of a basketball by a v-t graph n Understand the relation between x-t and v-t graph

5. Construction of a X-T Graph Height(x) /m Time(t) /s 0 When the position of the ball is recorded, a X-T graph is formed. X denotes displacement (height ). T denotes time taken.

6. Characteristics of a X-T Graph 0 X / m T / s Maximum Height Total Time xoxo toto X 0 is the maximum height reached by the ball. t o is the total time taken for the ball to go and return. What is the time required for the ball to reach the highest point ?

7. X-T graph is symmetric 0 X / m T / s Maximum Height xoxo toto t o /2 The time taken for the ball to reach the highest point should be t o /2

8. Construction of a V-T Graph Displacement / m Time / s 0 Velocity(v) /ms -1 Time(t) /s 0 When the velocity of the ball is recorded, a V-T graph is formed. V denotes velocity ( how fast ). T denotes time taken.

9. Velocity and v-t graph Velocity / ms -1 Time / s 0 The ball is moving upward, the velocity is positive. The ball is moving downwards and the velocity become negative The ball reaches the highest point, the instantaneous velocity is zero.

10. Speed and v-t graph Velocity / ms -1 Time / s 0 The speed of the ball is reducing gradually. It is decelerating. The speed of the ball is increasing gradually. It is accelerating. The speed of the ball is zero. It is temporary at rest.

11. Areas in v-t graph Velocity / ms -1 Time / s 0 Area A equals to the maximum height reached by the ball. Area B represents the distance traveled by the ball from the highest point back to the ground. A B Is there any relation between A and B ?

12. Area in V-T graph Velocity / ms -1 Time / s 0 A B Area A and B are the SAME ! It is because the basketball travels the same distance up and down. B B B B B B

13. Slope in v-t graph Velocity / ms -1 Time / s 0 The slope of the v-t graph is the acceleration of the basketball. toto vovo What is the slope of this straight line ?

14. Slope in v-t graph Velocity / ms -1 Time / s 0 The slope of the v-t graph is : - v o / t o = -g g is the gravitational acceleration and is approximately equal to 10 ms -2 toto vovo
