1. Motion and Speed Notes 9-1 & 9-2

2.  An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point  Stationary objects make good reference points

3.  Whether or not an object is in motion depends on the reference point you choose.

4.  Distance is the total length of the actual path between two points. Displacement is the length and direction of a straight line between starting and ending points. What is the total distance this person traveled (in blocks)? 7 Blocks What is the total displacement of this person? 5 Blocks Northeast

5.  Quantities that have both a magnitude and a direction  Example: Displacement

6.  If you know the distance an object travels in a certain amount of time, you can calculate the speed of the object.

7.  An airplane that moves 100 meters in two seconds has an average speed of …  Distance = 100 meters  Time = 2 seconds 100 meters = 50 meters per second 2 seconds

9.  The speed of most moving objects is not constant

10.  Rate at which object is moving at a given instant in time

11.  Speed in a given direction  Velocity is a vector because it has both magnitude and direction  Changes in velocity may be due to changes is speed, changes in direction, or both

12.  You can use distance-versus-time graphs to interpret motion.

13.  1 cm = 10 mm  1 m = 100 cm or 1,000 mm  1kilometer (think Sequoia 5K) – 1,000 m or 10,000 cm or 1,000,000

23. Acceleration

24.  Rate velocity changes with time  Vector quantity  In science, acceleration refers to increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction  Decreasing speed = deceleration

25.  To determine the acceleration of an object, you must calculate its change in velocity per unit of time.  Acceleration = Final Velocity – Initial Velocity Time Chapter 9 Motion and Energy

26.  Calculate the plane’s acceleration in the first 5 seconds of motion. A= V f – V i time A = 40 m/s – 0 m/s 5 s A = 8 m/s 2

27.  A car traveling at 50 m/s speeds up to 80 m/s over a period of 15 seconds. The average acceleration of the car is 80-50 m/s = 30 m/s = 2 m/s/s or 2m/s ² 15 s 15 s

28.  As a roller-coaster car starts down a slope, its velocity is 4 m/s. But 3 seconds later, its velocity is 22 m/s in the same direction. What is its acceleration?  Read and Understand  What information have you been given?  Initial velocity = 4 m/s  Final velocity = 22 m/s  Time = 3 s Chapter 9 Motion and Energy

29.  As a roller-coaster car starts down a slope, its velocity is 4 m/s. But 3 seconds later, its velocity is 22 m/s in the same direction. What is its acceleration?  Plan and Solve  What quantity are you trying to calculate?  The acceleration of the roller-coaster car = __  What formula contains the given quantities and the unknown quantity?  Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity)/Time  Perform the calculation.  Acceleration = (22 m/s - 4 m/s)/3 s = 18 m/s/3 s  Acceleration = 6 m/s 2  The acceleration is 6 m/s 2 down the slope. Chapter 9 Motion and Energy

30.  As a roller-coaster car starts down a slope, its velocity is 4 m/s. But 3 seconds later, its velocity is 22 m/s in the same direction. What is its acceleration?  Look Back and Check  Does your answer make sense?  The answer is reasonable. If the car’s velocity increases by 6 m/s each second, its velocity will be 10 m/s after 1 second, 16 m/s after 2 seconds, and 22 m/s after 3 seconds. Chapter 9 Motion and Energy

31.  Practice Problem  A falling raindrop accelerates from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the raindrop’s acceleration?  (30 m/s - 10 m/s) ÷ 2 seconds = 10 m/s 2 Chapter 9 Motion and Energy

32.  Practice Problem  A certain car can accelerate from rest to 27 m/s in 9 seconds. Find the car’s acceleration.  (27 m/s - 0 m/s) ÷ 9 s = 27 m/s ÷ 9 s = 3 m/s 2 Chapter 9 Motion and Energy

33.  You can use both a speed-versus-time graph and a distance-versus-time graph to analyze the motion of an accelerating object. Chapter 9 Motion and Energy

34. A student starts the 5K at 12 :15 and finishes at 12:35. What can you calculate with this information? Time: 12:35 – 12:15 = 20 min. Distance: 5K A. Speed = d/t B. Average Speed=Total distance/Total Time C. Velocity=d/t accounting for changes in speed and/or direction D. Acceleration= change in velocity/t

36.  Energy of motion is kinetic energy.  Stored energy is referred to as potential energy.  The potential energy of an object depends on its weight and height.  The formula for calculating mechanical energy is  potential energy + kinetic energy = total mechanical energy
