1. Warm Up 1. 203 cm to meters 2. 234 m to km 3. 8,009 g to kg 4. 0.987 L to mL 5. 0.97 kg to mg

2. Introduction to Motion  Objective: Know the difference between distance and displacement and speed and velocity

3. What is motion?  Motion: change of the position of an object with respect to time Ouch.

4.  Definition: Total length traveled  What distance did the turtle cover?

5.  Definition: change in the position of an object from its beginning point  Formula: Δx = x f -x i ΔxΔx xixi xfxf

6.  Displacement = change in position from start  Distance = total length traveled  What total distance did the turtle cover?  What was his displacement?

7. Displacement  Positive displacement: moving up or forward  Negative displacement: moving down or backward

8. Positive or Negative? 2 m 4 m 2 m 4 m + + - -

9. Speed  Definition: rate of change in distance with respect to time  Formula: speed = distance/time

10.  Definition: rate of change in displacement with respect to time  Formula: v avg = x f – x i = displacement = d t f – t i time t  Units: length/time Average Velocity

11.  Can be positive or negative  Depends on sign of displacement  Positive velocity = moving forward  Negative velocity = moving backward

12. Velocity vs. Speed  Velocity is a VECTOR quantity, which means it describes motion with both magnitude and direction  Rate of change of DISPLACEMENT with respect to time  Speed is a SCALAR quantity, which means it has no direction, only magnitude  Rate of change of DISTANCE with respect to time  Video (Vector) Video (Vector)

13. The GUESS Method  During football practice, Martin and Johnv run 2.7 miles eastward in 25 minutes. How fast were they running? G iven U nknown E quation S ubstitute S olve 2.7 miles = d, 25 minutes = t velocity v = d/t v = 2.7 miles/25 minutes v = 0.108 miles/min eastward
