6 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Displacement vs. Distance Displacement (blue line) = how far the object is from its starting point, regardless of path Distance traveled (dashed line) is measured along the actual path.

7 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Displacement vs. Distance Q: You make a round trip to the store 1 mile away. What distance do you travel? What is your displacement?

8 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Displacement vs. Distance Q: You walk 70 meters across the campus, hear a friend call from behind, and walk 30 meters back the way you came to meet her. What distance do you travel? What is your displacement?

9 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Displacement is written: SIGN matters! Direction matters! It is a VECTOR!! <= Positive displacement Displacement is negative => Displacement vs. Distance

10 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Speed is how far an object travels in a given time interval (in any direction) Speed vs. Velocity Ex: Go 10 miles to Chabot in 30 minutes Average speed = 10 mi / 0.5 hr = 20 mph

11 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Velocity includes directional information: Speed vs. Velocity Ex: Go 20 miles on 880 Northbound to Chabot in 20 minutes Average velocity = 20 mi / 0.333 hr = 60 mph NORTH VECTOR!

12 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Speed vs. Velocity Ex: Go 20 miles on 880 Northbound to Chabot in 20 minutes Average velocity = 20 mi / 0.333 hr = 60 mph NORTH

15 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Position of runner as a function of time is plotted as moving along the x axis of a coordinate system. During a 3.00-s time interval, a runner’s position changes from x 1 = 50.0 m to x 2 = 30.5 m What was the runner’s average velocity? Example of Average Velocity

16 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 During a 3.00-sec interval, runner’s position changes from x 1 = 50.0 m to x 2 = 30.5 m What was the runner’s average velocity? V avg = (30.5 - 50.0) meters/3.00 sec = -6.5 m/s in the x direction. The answer must have value 1, units 2, & DIRECTION 3 Example of Average Velocity Note!  x = FINAL – INITIAL position

17 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 During a 3.00-s time interval, the runner’s position changes from x 1 = 50.0 m to x 2 = 30.5 m. What was the runner’s average speed? S avg = |30.5-50.0| meters/3.00 sec = 6.5 m/s The answer must have value & units Example of Average SPEED

18 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Negative velocity??? Average x-velocity is negative during a time interval if particle moves in negative x-direction for that time interval.

After the next 3 seconds, the car is 277 meters from the starting line. What was its average velocity in those 3 seconds?

20 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Displacement, time, and average velocity—Figure 2.1 QA racing car starts from rest, and after 1 second is 19 meters from the starting line. After the next 3 seconds, the car is 277 meters from the starting line. What was its average velocity in those 3 seconds? Solution Method: 1.What do you know? What do you need to find? What are the units? What might be a reasonable estimate? 2.DRAW it! Visualize what is happening. Create a coordinate system, label the drawing with everything. 3.Find what you need from what you know

21 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Displacement, time, and average velocity—Figure 2.1 A racing car starts from rest, and after 1 second is 19 meters from the starting line. After the next 3 seconds, the car is 277 meters from the starting line. What was its average velocity in those 3 seconds? “starts from rest” = initial velocity = 0 car moves along straight (say along an x-axis) –has coordinate x = 0 at t=0 seconds –has coordinate x=+19 meters at t =1 second –Has coordinate x=+277 meters at t = 1+3 = 4 seconds.

After the next 3 seconds, the car is 277 meters from the starting line. What was its average velocity in those 3 seconds?

23 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A position-time graph—Figure 2.3 A position-time graph (an “x-t” graph) shows the particle’s position x as a function of time t. Average x-velocity is related to the slope of an x-t graph.

24 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Instantaneous speed is the average speed in the limit as the time interval becomes infinitesimally short. Ideally, a speedometer would measure instantaneous speed; in fact, it measures average speed, but over a very short time interval. Note: It doesn’t measure direction! Instantaneous Speed

25 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Instantaneous velocity is the average velocity in the limit as the time interval becomes infinitesimally short. Velocity is a vector; you must include direction! V = 27 m/s west… Instantaneous Speed

26 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Instantaneous velocity The instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific instant of time or specific point along the path and is given by v x = dx/dt.

27 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Instantaneous velocity The instantaneous velocity is the velocity at a specific instant of time or specific point along the path and is given by v x = dx/dt. The average speed is not the magnitude of the average velocity!

28 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A jet engine moves along an experimental track (the x axis) as shown. Its position as a function of time is given by the equation x = At 2 + B where A = 2.10 m/s 2 and B = 2.80 m. Instantaneous Velocity Example

29 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A jet engine’s position as a function of time is x = At 2 + B, where A = 2.10 m/s 2 and B = 2.80 m. (a)Determine the displacement of the engine during the time interval from t 1 = 3.00 s to t 2 = 5.00 s. (b)Determine the average velocity during this time interval.

30 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A jet engine’s position as a function of time is x = At 2 + B, where A = 2.10 m/s 2 and B = 2.80 m. (a)Determine the displacement of the engine during the time interval from t 1 = 3.00 s to t 2 = 5.00 s. @ t = 3.00 s x 1 = 21.7 @ t = 5.00 s x 2 = 55.3 x 2 – x 1 = 33.6 meters in +x direction Instantaneous Velocity Example

31 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A jet engine’s position as a function of time is x = At 2 + B, where A = 2.10 m/s 2 and B = 2.80 m. b) Determine the average velocity during this time interval. Vavg = 33.6 m/ 2.00 sec = 16.8 m/s in the + x direction Instantaneous Velocity Example

32 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A jet engine’s position as a function of time is x = At 2 + B, where A = 2.10 m/s 2 and B = 2.80 m. (c) Determine the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity at t = 5.00 s |v| = dx/dt @ t = 5.00 seconds = 21.0 m/s Instantaneous Velocity Example

33 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Acceleration = the rate of change of velocity. Units: meters/sec/sec or m/s^2 or m/s 2 or ft/s 2 Since velocity is a vector, acceleration is ALSO a vector, so direction is crucial… A = 2.10 m/s 2 in the +x direction Acceleration

34 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A car accelerates along a straight road from rest to 90 km/h in 5.0 s. What is the magnitude of its average acceleration? KEY WORDS: “straight road” = assume constant acceleration “from rest” = starts at 0 km/h Acceleration Example

35 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A car accelerates along a straight road from rest to 90 km/h in 5.0 s What is the magnitude of its average acceleration? |a| = (90 km/hr – 0 km/hr)/5.0 sec = 18 km/h/sec along road better – convert to more reasonable units 90 km/hr = 90 x 10 3 m/hr x 1hr/3600 s = 25 m/s So |a| = 5.0 m/s 2(note – magnitude only is requested) Acceleration Example

36 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Acceleration Acceleration = the rate of change of velocity.

37 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 (a) If the velocity of an object is zero, does it mean that the acceleration is zero? (b) If the acceleration is zero, does it mean that the velocity is zero? Think of some examples. Acceleration vs. Velocity?

38 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 An automobile is moving to the right along a straight highway. Then the driver puts on the brakes. If the initial velocity (when the driver hits the brakes) is v 1 = 15.0 m/s, and it takes 5.0 s to slow down to v 2 = 5.0 m/s, what was the car’s average acceleration? Acceleration Example

If the initial velocity (when the driver hits the brakes) is v 1 = 15.0 m/s, and it takes 5.0 s to slow down to v 2 = 5.0 m/s, what was the car’s average acceleration? Acceleration Example

40 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 A semantic difference between negative acceleration and deceleration: “Negative” acceleration is acceleration in the negative direction (defined by coordinate system). “Deceleration” occurs when the acceleration is opposite in direction to the velocity. Acceleration Example

41 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Finding velocity on an x-t graph At any point on an x-t graph, the instantaneous x- velocity is equal to the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point.

43 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Average acceleration Acceleration describes the rate of change of velocity with time. The average x-acceleration is a av-x =  v x /  t.

44 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Instantaneous acceleration The instantaneous acceleration is a x = dv x /dt. Consider an accelerating racing car:

After the next 3 seconds, the car is 277 meters from the starting line. What was its average acceleration in the first second? What was its average acceleration in the first 4 seconds?

59 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Two bodies with different accelerations (Ex. 2.5) A motorist traveling at a constant 15m/s passes school crossing where speed limit is 20 mph. Just as motorist passes the sign a police officer stopped on a motorcycle starts off in pursuit with acceleration 3.0 m/s 2.

60 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Two bodies with different accelerations (Ex. 2.5) WHEN does officer catch up to the car? How FAST is officer going at that time? How FAR has each travelled?

61 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc.

63 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Freely falling bodies Free fall is the motion of an object under the influence of only gravity. In the figure, a strobe light flashes with equal time intervals between flashes. The velocity change is the same in each time interval, so the acceleration is constant.

64 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Freely Falling Objects In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration, although this may be tricky to tell by testing in an environment where there is air resistance.

65 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 The acceleration due to gravity at the Earth’s surface is approximately 9.80 m/s 2. At a given location on the Earth and in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same constant acceleration. Freely Falling Objects

66 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Example: Falling from a tower. Suppose that a ball is dropped ( v 0 = 0) from a tower 70.0 m high. How far will it have fallen after a time t 1 = 1.00 s, t 2 = 2.00 s, and t 3 = 3.00 s? Ignore air resistance. Freely Falling Objects

67 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Example: Thrown down from a tower Suppose a ball is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 3.00 m/s, instead of being dropped. (a) What then would be its position after 1.00 s and 2.00 s? (b) What is its speed after 1.00 s and 2.00 s? Compare with the speeds of a dropped ball.

68 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Example: Ball thrown up! A person throws a ball upward into the air with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s Calculate (a) how high it goes, & (b) how long the ball is in the air before it comes back to the hand. Ignore air resistance. Freely Falling Objects

69 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Up-and-down motion in free fall An object is in free fall even when it is moving upward.

70 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Is the acceleration zero at the highest point?—Figure 2.25 The vertical velocity, but not the acceleration, is zero at the highest point.

71 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Ball thrown upward (cont.) Consider again a ball thrown upward, & calculate (a) how much time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum height, (b) the velocity of the ball when it returns to the thrower’s hand (point C).

72 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Give examples to show the error in these two common misconceptions: (1) that acceleration and velocity are always in the same direction (2) that an object thrown upward has zero acceleration at the highest point. Freely Falling Objects

73 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 The quadratic formula For a ball thrown upward at an initial speed of 15.0 m/s, calculate at what time t the ball passes a point 8.00 m above the person’s hand.

81 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Variable Acceleration; Integral Calculus Example: Integrating a time-varying acceleration. An experimental vehicle starts from rest ( v 0 = 0) at t = 0 and accelerates at a rate given by a = (7.00 m/s 3 ) t. What is (a) its velocity and (b) its displacement 2.00 s later?

82 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Graphical Analysis and Numerical Integration The total displacement of an object can be described as the area under the v-t curve:

83 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Graphical Analysis and Numerical Integration Similarly, the velocity may be written as the area under the a-t curve. However, if the velocity or acceleration is not integrable, or is known only graphically, numerical integration may be used instead.

84 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Example: Numerical integration An object starts from rest at t = 0 and accelerates at a rate a(t) = (8.00 m/s 4 ) t 2. Determine its velocity after 2.00 s using numerical methods.

85 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Velocity and position by integration The acceleration of a car is not always constant. The motion may be integrated over many small time intervals to give

86 Copyright © 2015 Pearson Education Inc. Modified SH 8/15 Motion with changing acceleration (Ex. 2.9) Look at the example where acceleration DOES vary in time. a x = 2.0 m/s 2 – (0.10 m/s 3 )t You cannot use the set equations - you must INTEGRATE
