9. Drill 9.13 Give 3 examples of vector quantities.
Give 3 examples of scalar quantities.
What to vector and scalar quantities have in common?
How are they different?
Before a Ravens game you walk 7 blocks east to get chips and salsa at the store, then walk 4 blocks west to your friend’s house where you are going to watch the game.
5. How far did you walk? (distance)
6. What was your total displacement?

10. Position Location of an object in a coordinate system.
A coordinate system must have an origin and an orientation.
You can identify position by specifying how far the object is from the origin and in what direction.
Symbol: x Units: m
Is position a vector quantity?

11. Displacement Is defined as change of position.
How far & in what direction from starting point.
Symbol: Dx = x2-x1 Units: meters

12. Distance Describes how far something moves Symbol: d Units: meters
What is the displacement of an object that starts at x=12 m and ends at x=7 m?
If you don’t change direction distance equals the absolute value of displacement.
If direction changes add up the individual distances (draw a diagram!)

14. Drill (9.14)
Write down the following quantities and identify each as a vector (V) or a scalar (S)
55 mph 15 meters south L N down
What is the magnitude of each of the quantities in question 1?
During a punt return, the receiver has to drop back from the 20 yard line to the 5 yard line to field the ball. His teammates make some excellent blocks as he returns the ball straight up the field to the 35 yard line before getting tackled.
How far did the punt returner travel during the play?
What was the his displacement?

15. Speed Scalar quantity describing how fast something is moving
symbol: v SI units: m/s
Relationship: average speed = distance/time
v = d/t

16. Example 1
It takes a student 25 seconds to walk 75 feet east down the hallway. What is their average speed? t=25 s d=75 ft v=? v=d/t =75 ft / 25 s = 3.0 ft/s

17. Example 2
Usain Bolt runs at an average speed of 10.4 m/s during a 100 meter race. How long does it take him to complete the sprint?
v=10.4 m/s
d=100 m
t=?
v=d/t  t=d/v
=(100 m)/(10.4 m/s)
= 9.6 m x s/m
= 9.6 s

18. Velocity Vector quantity describing both speed and direction
Rate that position is changing
Symbol: v SI units: m/s
Relationship: avg velocity = displacement/time
vavg=Dx/t

19. Example 3
It takes a student 25 seconds to walk 75 feet east down the hallway. What is their average velocity? t=25 s Dx=75 ft east v=? v=Dx/t =(75 ft east)/ 25 s = 3.0 ft/s east When an object does not change direction the magnitude of the displacement equals the distance and the magnitude of the average velocity equals the average speed.

20. Example 4
A car drives 120 miles east in 2 hours, then drives 90 miles west in 3 hours. What is their average velocity? Dx=30 mi east t=2 h + 3 h = 5 h vavg=? vavg=Dx/t = (30 mi east)/(5 h) = 6 mi/h east
120 mi
90 mi

22. Acceleration
Acceleration is a vector quantity that describes how quickly the velocity of an object is changing
Symbol: a SI units: (m/s) per s or m/s2
Relationship: average acceleration = amount velocity changed how long it took
aavg=Dv/Dt

23. Example 5
What is the acceleration of a car that travels east at a constant speed of 60 mi/h for 3 h? Answer: ZERO!! Acceleration describes how quickly velocity is changing and neither the magnitude or direction of this car’s velocity are changing.

25. 9.15 Drill
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate vocabulary term. 1. The study of motion is called __________________. 2. Quantities which have both a magnitude and a direction are called __________________. 3. ____________ is a scalar quantity that describes how far something has traveled. 4. _____________ is a vector quantity that describes the location of an object in a coordinate system. 5. ______________ describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction. 6. ____________ describes how quickly an object’s velocity is changing.

26. Application
Starting from the origin a rabbit hops 35 yards north in 22 seconds then hops 65 yards south in 38 seconds. 1. What is the rabbit’s total displacement? 2. What is the total distance traveled by the rabbit? 3. What is the rabbit’s average speed? 4. What is the rabbit’s average velocity?

27. Displacement = 30 yds south Avg Speed = dist/time = 100 yds/60 s
Total time = 22 s + 38 s = 60 s
Distance = 35 yds + 65 yds
= 100 yds
Displacement = 30 yds south
Avg Speed = dist/time
= 100 yds/60 s
= 1.67 yds/s
Avg velocity = displacement/time
= 30 yds south/60 s
=0.5 yds/s south
35 yds
65 yds

28. Turn & Talk
What does the slope of our linear models tell us about the motion of the toy car? What does the y-intercept tell us? Would all types of motion result in a linear relationship between position & time?

29. Constant Velocity Particle Model
Applies to an object that travels at a constant speed in a straight line.
Graph of position vs. time is linear
Slope of position vs. time indicates velocity
Y-intercept indicates initial position
x = v t + xo
Dx=vt
v=d/t

30. Constant Velocity Model
CV1
Determine the total distance, total displacement, average speed, and average velocity of an object moving along a straight line. (There may be more than one segment to the motion, but the velocity of the object is constant for each segment).
CV2
Solve algebraic problems using the constant velocity model.
x=vt + xo or v=d/t
CV3
Describe constant velocity motion with words, motion maps, position versus time graphs, and velocity versus time graphs. Correctly answer questions about the motion based on any of these representations. Given one representation, describe the motion with any of the other three.
