11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK Slope X Y (0,0) (4,8) 8 4 Slope = rise = Y = Y2 – Y1 = 8 – 0 = 8 = 2 run X X2 – X1 4 – 0 4
11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK Velocity is the slope of Displacement X Y (0,0) (4,8) 8 4 Average Velocity = rise = D = D2 – D1 = 8 – 0 = 8 m = 2 m/s run t t2 – t1 4 – 0 4 s Displacement (m) Time (s)
11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK The displacement graph on the previous slide was a straight line, therefore the slope was 2 at every instant. 2.Which means the velocity at any instant is equal to the average velocity. 3.However if the graph was not straight the instantaneous velocity could not be determined from the average velocity
11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK Instantaneous Velocity The average velocity over an infinitely small time period. Determined using Calculus The derivative of displacement The slope of the displacement curve
11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK Instantaneous Acceleration The average acceleration over an infinitely small time period. Determined using Calculus The derivative of velocity The slope of the velocity curve
11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK Average vs. Instantaneous Average Velocity = rise = D = D2 – D1 = 8 – 0 = 8 m = 2 m/s run t t2 – t1 4 – 0 4 s X Y 8 4 Displacement (m) Time (s) (0,0) (4,8) The average velocity does not accurately represent slope at this particular point.
11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK Derivative The slope of the graph at a single point. Slope of the line tangent to the curve. The limiting value of D/ t as t approaches zero.

11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK What if velocity isn’t a straight line? This would be an over estimate of the area under the curve (2,4) 4 2 (0,0) Velocity Time
11/10/2015Dr. Sasho MacKenzie - HK Integration Finding the area under a curve. Uses infinitely small time periods. All the areas under the infinitely small time periods are then summed together. D = Vdt = V t
