2. CP1 – Motion (p145-148) Equations – show your working
A lobster creeps 10 m along the sea bed in 5 minutes. What is its average speed?
10m / 300s = 0.033m/s
A snake slithers up a giant sand dune at 2 m/s. How far will it have moved in a minute?
2m/s x 60s = 120m
A car changes from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 8 seconds. What is its acceleration?
20m/s / 8s = 2.5m/s2
A motorcyclist accelerates at 3 m/s2 for 9s, starting from rest. What is the motorcyclist's final speed?
3m/s2 x 9s = 27m/s
Equations - give the equation and units linking:
Average speed, distance, time
Distance (m) = speed (m/s) x time (s)
Acceleration, change in velocity, time taken
Acceleration (m/s2) = change in velocity (m/s) / time (s)
Define -
Average speed - a measure of the distance traveled in a given period of time
Instantaneous speed - speed at a particular instant in time
Acceleration- the rate at which an object changes its speed.
Velocity - the speed of something in a given direction
Distance – how far something travels, scalar quantity with no direction
Displacement – an objects overall change in position, vector quantity with direction
Momentum - the tendency of the object to keep moving in the same direction
Typical speeds – state with units
Walking 5km/h
Running 12km/h
Cycling 15km/h
Speed of sound in air 340 m/s
Vectors and scalars – define each and give 3 pairs of quantities
Vector has magnitude and direction, Scalar has only magnitude
Displacement + Distance
Speed + Velocity
Distance time graphs – label each line. Explain how to calculate speed using different parts of the graph.
Gradient of line = speed (change in distance / change in time)
Velocity time graphs – label each line. Explain how to calculate acceleration, distance and displacement using different parts of the graph. Area under line = distance travelled, Gradient of line = acceleration
