2/5 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Instantaneous Velocity and Speed  Instantaneous velocity (or simply velocity) is the average velocity over a very short period of time interval  Velocity v at any instant is the slope of the position-time curve.  Instantaneous speed (or simply speed) is the magnitude of velocity, that is, speed is velocity without any indication of direction ●What is the car’s v avg ?

2/7 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Example: Elevator Cab Figure (a) on the left is an x(t) plot for an elevator cab that is initially stationary, then moves upward (which we take to be the positive direction of x), and then stops. Plot v(t).  The slope of x(t), which is the v(t), is zero in the intervals from 0 to 1 s and from 9 s on  the cab is stationary in these intervals.  During the interval bc, the slope is nonzero constant  the cab moves with constant velocity.  Between 1 s and 3 s the cab begins to move, and between 8 s and 9 s it slows down  the velocity of the cab varies. ●Given v(t), can you determine x(t) exactly?

2/10 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Acceleration  Average acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to the time interval.  Instantaneous acceleration (or simply acceleration) is the derivative of the velocity with respect to time.

2/11 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Acceleration  Compare the a(t) curve with the v(t) curve.  Each point on the a(t) curve shows the derivative (slope) of the v(t) curve at the corresponding time.  When v is constant, the derivative is zero  a is also zero.  When the cab first begin to move, the v(t) curve has a positive derivation, which means that a(t) is positive.  When the cab slows to a stop, the derivative of v(t) is negative; that is, a(t) is negative.
