Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. From this class: In Chapter 1 you began studying motion in one dimension. We continue the development of the concepts in this chapter. In Chapter 1 you saw how to represent motion using a motion diagram. In this chapter we will look at other ways to represent motion. From previous classes: We will use graphical representations of motion extensively in this chapter. You should have learned how to draw, interpret, and work with graphs in previous courses.

Dinner at a Distance, Part I Chameleons catch insects with their tongues, which they can extend to great lengths at great speeds. A chameleon is aiming for an insect at a distance of 18 cm. The insect will sense the attack and move away 50 ms after it begins. In the first 50 ms, the chameleon’s tongue accelerates at 250 m/s 2 for 20 ms, then travels at constant speed for the remaining 30 ms. Does its tongue reach the 18 cm extension needed to catch the insect during this time? Slide 2-24

Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. Dinner at a Distance, Part II Cheetahs can run at incredible speeds, but they can’t keep up these speeds for long. Suppose a cheetah has spotted a gazelle. In five long strides, the cheetah has reached its top speed of 27 m/s. At this instant, the gazelle, at a distance of 140 m from the running cheetah, notices the danger and heads directly away. The gazelle accelerates at 7.0 m/s² for 3.0 s, then continues running at a constant speed that is much less than the cheetah’s speed. But the cheetah can only keep running for 15 s before it must break off the chase. Does the cheetah catch the gazelle, or does the gazelle escape? Slide 2-25

But he had an impressive vertical leap; he was reputedly able to jump 110 cm off the ground. To jump this high, with what speed would he leave the ground? A football is punted straight up into the air; it hits the ground 5.2 s later. What was the greatest height reached by the ball? With what speed did it leave the kicker’s foot? Passengers on The Giant Drop, a free-fall ride at Six Flags Great America, sit in cars that are raised to the top of a tower. The cars are then released for 2.6 s of free fall. How fast are the passengers moving at the end of this speeding up phase of the ride? If the cars in which they ride then come to rest in a time of 1.0 s, what is acceleration (magnitude and direction) of this slowing down phase of the ride? Given these numbers, what is the minimum possible height of the tower? Slide 2-31

Copyright © 2007, Pearson Education, Inc., Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley. Additional Examples When you stop a car on icy pavement, the acceleration of your car is approximately –1.0 m/s². If you are driving on icy pavement at 30 m/s (about 65 mph) and hit your brakes, how much distance will your car travel before coming to rest? As we will see in a future chapter, the time for a car to come to rest in a collision is always about 0.1 s. Ideally, the front of the car will crumple as this happens, with the passenger compartment staying intact. If a car is moving at 15 m/s and hits a fixed obstacle, coming to rest in 0.10 s, what is the acceleration? How much does the front of the car crumple during the collision? Slide 2-38
