Today’s Title: CW: Vectors-Velocity Time Graphs 16 January 2019 Today’s Title: CW: Vectors-Velocity Time Graphs Learning Question: How can we use graphs to calculate velocity? Starter – describe what is happening in this graph: distance time

Acceleration Acceleration is how quickly speed in a certain direction is changing. What word have you learned that could replace the phrase “speed in a certain direction”? Velocity

Question 1 How are velocity and acceleration connected? Acceleration is the change in velocity per second. It is calculated from the equation acceleration = change in velocity/time taken.

Acceleration Acceleration can be a change in: Speed; Direction; Or speed and direction Acceleration can be described as a vector quantity because it has a magnitude (size) and direction Remember, acceleration does not always mean getting faster, it is a change, so it can mean getting slower too.

Question 2 Explain why acceleration is a vector quantity. A: Because velocity is a vector quantity; because acceleration has a direction as well as a size.

Acceleration equation Acceleration (m/s2) = change in velocity (m/s) time take (s) a = (v – u) t v= velocity at the end u= velocity at the start v-u = means working out the change in velocity The unit of acceleration is m/s2 NOT to be confused with velocity, which is m/s

Acceleration Example question: a = (v – u) t Example question: A car accelerates in 5s from 25 m/s to 35 m/s. What is its change in velocity? 35 – 25 = 10 m/s What is its acceleration? 10m/s = 2 m/s2 5s

Question 3 SpaceShip Two accelerates from 0 m/s to 2100 m/s vertically upwards in 90 seconds. What is its acceleration? A: 2100 – 0 = 2100 2100 / 90 = 23.3 m/s2

Question 4 A car travels along a straight road at 40 m/s. The driver brakes and brings the car to a halt in 8 seconds. What is the car’s acceleration? A:0 – 40 = -40 (because the car is slowing down) -40 / 8 = –5 m/s2

Question 5 A train is travelling at 35 m/s. Coming into a station, it slows down with an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2. How much time does it take to stop? A:a = 0.5 m/s2 (v – u) = (0 -35) = -35m/s 0.5 m/s2 = -35m/s ÷ t 35m/s ÷ 0.5 m/s2 =70 s a = (v – u) t

Velocity-time graphs When an object is moving with a constant velocity, the line on the graph is horizontal. When an object is moving with a constant acceleration, the line on the graph is straight, but sloped. The steeper the line, the greater the acceleration of the object.

Calculations using a velocity-time graph What was the acceleration to this point? 5-0 / 25 = 0.5km/min2

Calculating distance – higher tier The distance travelled can be calculated from the graph, too. The area under the graph is equal to the distance travelled. Study this velocity-time graph.

Higher Tier The area The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled. To find the distance travelled in the graph above, you need to find the area of the light-blue triangle and the dark-blue rectangle. Area of light-blue triangle The width of the triangle is 4 seconds and the height is 8 metres per second. To find the area, you use the equation: area of triangle = 1⁄2 × base × height so the area of the light-blue triangle is 1⁄2 × 8 × 4 = 16 m Area of dark-blue rectangle The width of the rectangle is 6 seconds and the height is 8 metres per second. So the area is 8 × 6 = 48 m. Area under the whole graph The area of the light-blue triangle plus the area of the dark-blue rectangle is: 16 + 48 = 64 m. This is the total area under the distance-time graph. This area represents the distance covered.
