3 equations of Motion There are three equations of motion that we use. I will derive 1& Though you will not need to derive these, these illustrate a very important practice we undertake in Physics. There are situations where we can combine multiple equations in order solve problems that don’t seem to have a solution. 1 is created by combining a=Δv/Δt & Δv=v-v 0 2 can be found by graphing the motion of an accelerating object on a v vs t graph and finding its area. It can be derived using calculus. 3 is created by substituting equation 1 into equation 2 No Δx No v No t

How to Use the 3 equations of motion 1. The # 1 rule is to use the givens to decide which equation to use. This equation can’t find an x, so don’t use it if you are given displacement or it is an unknown This equation can’t find v, so don’t use it if you are given final velocity or it is an unknown. This equation can’t find t, so don’t use it if you are given t or it is an unknown. We will call this equation of motion #1 We will call this equation of motion #2 We will call this equation of motion #3

How to use the equations of motion day 2? 2. The # 2 rule is avoid quadratics! If one of your givens is a v 0 and your unknown is t then equation 2 is going to be messy. 2b.You can avoid this process by using equation 3 then equation 1. Now try solving the same problem using equation 1 & 3. 2a.Right now try to solve for t using: Δx=10m,V o =20m/s, a=-9.8m/s 2 3. Remember what they are useful for. These equations work within the context of uniformly accelerated motion or constant acceleration. This includes no acceleration

Falling Objects Lab Stations Station 1: A falling Marble. You will first make the appropriate calculation to predict the time it will take for the marble to fall. Then you will actually time it and find the % error between your calculation and your measurement. Station 2: What is gravity? By measuring the the time it takes for a golf ball to fall at different heights make a linear graph and find the slope of the graph for an accurate value of g. Find the % error. g=9.807m/s 2 use significant figures Station 3: How does gravity work? Directions: Drop the following objects and time how long it takes them to fall to the ground. Does shape matter? Does size matter? Use what you know about gravity to make sense of what you observe. Once you have collected data write a paragraph explaining the physics of falling objects to the best of your ability. a. How does gravity affect a marble and a golf ball? b. How does gravity affect a piece of paper vs. a book? Can you find a way to make paper and a book fall at the same rate? c. Compare a large cylinder and a small cylinder. Does the orientation of the cylinder affect your result? Be sure to collect all data in class. You may analyze the data and calculate at home if necessary. Justify all of your conclusions with actual data.

Breaking Vectors into Components x component = horizontal component (left to right) y component = vertical component (up and down) If you have a vector, you have a quantity that has a magnitude (size) and a direction. s is a general way to right length or displacement. In order to solve problems involving vectors, we benefit greatly by breaking them into components. In 2 dimensional physics the components are x and y In 3 dimensional physics the components are x, y, and z. We will use 2 dimensions x and y. s=4m θ=30°

Breaking vectors into Components When you break vectors into components they are written using the following form: and are called unit vector. They have a magnitude of 1 and their sole purpose is to denote direction. means the vector component is in the horizontal direction means the vector component is in the vertical direction. s=4m θ=30° x y cos30=x/4m x=cos30(4m)Î x=3.46mÎ sin30=y/4m y=sin30(4m)Ĵ y=2mĴ

Adding & Subtracting Displacement Vectors Lets take a look at the vector relationship that creates Δx: The x 0 vector is shown to your right. Then x changes by the amount of Δx so x o + Δx = x but x o + Δx = x solved for Δx = x-x o First show the derivation for Δx on the board. Then clarify…
