Distance, Displacement, Speed, and Velocity

Questions for Consideration What is frame of reference? What is distance? How is displacement different from distance? What is speed? What is velocity? What are scalar and vector quantities?

Frame of Reference Coordinate frame within which to measure position, motion, or other properties of an object. OR... Observational frame tied to the motion of an observer. In Newtonian physics, all motion must be defined in terms of a reference frame. Relative Motion

Reference Frame Is the speed of the ball different relative to the pitcher, the truck driver, and the jet pilot? Why or why not?

Distance Distance (d) – how far an object travels. Does not depend on direction. Imagine an ant crawling along a ruler. What distance did the ant travel? d = 3 cm cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Distance Distance does not depend on direction. Here’s our intrepid ant explorer again. Now what distance did the ant travel? d = 3 cm Does his direction change the answer? cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Distance Distance does not depend on direction. Let’s follow the ant again. What distance did the ant walk this time? d = 7 cm cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Displacement Displacement (x) – difference between an object’s final position and its starting position. Does depend on direction. Displacement = final position – initial position x = xfinal – xinitial In order to define displacement, we need directions. Examples of directions: + and – N, S, E, W Angles

Displacement vs. Distance Example of distance: The ant walked 3 cm. Example of displacement: The ant walked 3 cm EAST. An object’s distance traveled and its displacement aren’t always the same!

Displacement Let’s revisit our ant, and this time we’ll find his displacement. Distance: 3 cm Displacement: +3 cm The positive gives the ant a direction! cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 + -

Displacement Find the ant’s displacement again. - + Distance: 3 cm Remember, displacement has direction! Distance: 3 cm Displacement: -3 cm cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 + -

Displacement Find the distance and displacement of the ant. - + Distance: 7 cm Displacement: +3 cm cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 + -

Displacement vs. Distance An athlete runs around a track that is 100 meters long three times, then stops. What is the athlete’s distance and displacement? Distance = 300 m Displacement = 0 m Why?

Speed Speed (s) – Rate at which an object is moving. speed = distance / time s = d/t Like distance, speed does not depend on direction.

Speed A car drives 100 meters in 5 seconds. What is the car’s average speed? s = d/t s = (100 m) / (5 s) = 20 m/s 100 m 5 s 4 s 1 s 2 s 3 s

Speed A rocket is traveling at 10 km/s. How long does it take the rocket to travel 30 km?

Speed A racecar is traveling at 85.0 m/s. How far does the car travel in 30.0 s?

Velocity Velocity (v) – speed with direction. velocity = displacement / time v = x / t

Pulling It All Together Back to our ant explorer! Distance traveled: 7 cm Displacement: +3 cm Average speed: (7 cm) / (5 s) = 1.4 cm/s Average velocity: (+3 cm) / (5 s) = +0.6 cm/s cm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 + - 5 s 4 s 1 s 2 s 3 s

Scalar and Vector Quantities Scalar Quantity – has magnitude but not direction. Distance and speed are scalar quantities. Vector Quantity – has magnitude and direction. Displacement and velocity are vector quantities.
