1. 9/20/15 Calculating Acceleration & velocity
We will calculate an object’s velocity and acceleration.
I will take a quiz to demonstrate my ability to
Calculate an object’s velocity and acceleration.
*You need the Socrative App, calculator& piece of scratch paper for quiz

2. Bell Ringer Happy birthday Mrs. Lee
Calculate the object’s acceleration from the diagram for leg A,B, & C of the journey.
What is happening at A,B & C? 48

3. What is velocity? Meanings V- velocity X0- initial position
X- final position
Δ t- change in time ( tf-ti)

4. What is acceleration?
The rate of change of an objects velocity over time taken.
Meanings
a- acceleration
V- final velocity
V0- initial velocity
t- change in time ( tf-ti)

5. Lesson Objectives
We will calculate an object’s displacement, velocity and acceleration.

Delta
Means ‘change in’ i.e final - initial
Velocity Equation
v = Δx/Δt;
Acceleration Equation
a = Δv/Δt; a= v - v0
Kinematic Equations
v = v0 + at
v2 = v02 + 2ax
x = v0t + ½ at2
x = ½(v + v0)t

15. Problem #3
3. Heather and Mathew walk with an average velocity of 0.98 m/s eastward. If it takes them 34 min to walk to the store, what is their displacement?

16. Problem #6
A shark accelerates uniformly from 2.8 km/h to 32.0 km/h in 1.5 s. How large is its acceleration in km/hr2?

17. Solutions-Problem 2
A snail can move about 4 m in 5 min. Whats the average speed of the snail in m/s?
d= 4 m
t= 5 min= 5min*60s/1min = 300 s
s=?
s= d/t = 4m/300s = m/s

18. Solutions-Problem 4
Simpson drives his car with an average velocity of 48 km/h east.How long will it take to drive 144 km.?
v= 48 km/h
d=144 km
t=?
t=d/v t= 144/48 = 3 hr

19. Solutions-Problem 5
A rocket sled comes to a complete stop from a speed of 320 km/h in 0.18s. What is the sled’s average acceleration in km/h2?
vf=0 km/h
vi=320 km/h
t= 0.18s (*1hr/3600s)= hrs
a= ? a= =-6,400,000 km/h2 OR
(-6.4 X106 km/h2)

Acceleration intro
Explaining acceleration pictorially, graphically & with words

22. end

23. Lesson Objectives
We will describe an objects motion in terms of its acceleration.
With my group, I will create a story, a picture, and a graph that depicts the motion of a person that as:
A. No acceleration.
C. Constant + acceleration
D. Constant - acceleration

24. Describing with words
The gun goes off. The runner takes off. He steadily speeds up at a rate of 2 m/s2. After 2 seconds he’s burned out. His speed stays the same for about two seconds then Momma yells from the crowd,” Don’t you quit!!”He had nothing left. He runs slowly to the finish line.

25. Graphically

26. All 3 graphs connected

27. Graph Practice Try making all three graphs for the following scenario:
1. Newberry starts out north of home. At time zero he’s driving a cement mixer south very fast at a constant speed.
2. He accidentally runs over an innocent moose crossing the road, so he slows to a stop to check on the poor moose.
3. He pauses for a while until he determines the moose is squashed flat and deader than a doornail.
4. Fleeing the scene of the crime, Newberry takes off again in the same direction, speeding up quickly.
5. When his conscience gets the better of him, he slows, turns around, and returns to the crash site.
