1. Chapter 3 Motion (Ewen et al. 2005) Objectives: Distinguish between speed and velocity Use vectors to illustrate and solve velocity problems.

2. Motion can be defined as an object’s change in position. How quickly and object changes its position is its speed—distance traveled per unit of time. Units: mi/h, km/h, m/s, or ft/s

3. Velocity of an object is the rate of motion in a particular direction. The time rate of change of an object’s displacement. A vector quantity that give the direction of travel and the distance traveled per unit of time Figure 4.2 The velocity, distance, and time for a car traveling at a constant velocity of 10 m/s to the right is shown in 1-s intervals. s = displacement v avg = average velocity or speed t = time Units?

6.  Find the average speed of an automobile that travels 160 km in 2.0 h.

7.  An airplane flies 3500 mi in 5.00 h. Find its average speed.

8.  Find the velocity of a plane that travels 600 km due north in 3 h 15 min.

9.  A plane is flying due north (90 o ) at 264 km/h. Suddenly there is a wind from the east (180 o ) at 55.0 km/h. What is the plane’s new velocity with respect to the ground in standard position? Note: Wind directions are given from the direction the wind is coming from, not the direction it is actually blowing. For example, a north wind is actually coming from the north but is actually moving southward.

10.  A plane is flying northwest (at 135 o ) at 135 km/h. Suddenly there is a wind from 30.0 o south of west (at 30.0 o ) at 65.0 km/h. What is the plane’s new velocity with respect to the ground in standard position?
