1
Describing Motion I love physics, but I hate moving. Kinematics
2
Examine the different ways of relating motion. Graph and examine position-time for uniform motion.
3
Motion can be described in a lots of ways: Verbal -words to describe position and motion. Symbolic -equations to relate displacement, time and velocity. Numerical - data tables to indicate position at an instant in time. Graphical -graphs giving direct information of position and time.
4
CONSTANT velocity - NO CHANGE in size OR direction. Movement shown in the data table is – UNIFORM MOTION –
5
What is the velocity between 10 and 15 seconds? v = Δd Δt v = v = 2 m/s [E] v = 10 5 30 - 20 15 - 10
6
POSITION (m) TIME (s) 10 20 30 40 50 5 10 1520 25 0 0 Time is plotted on the HORIZONTAL AXIS. Position is plotted on the VERTICAL AXIS. A STRAIGHT line represents UNIFORM motion.
7
POSITION (m) TIME (s) 10 20 30 40 50 5 10 1520 25 0 0 P-T graphs tells where an object is at a given time. The slope of P-T graphs give velocity of the object. RISE RUN Rise: Δd= d 2 - d 1 = 21 - 7 = +14 Run: Δt = t 2 - t 1 = 11 - 4 = +7 v = + 2.0 m/s
8
y 10 20 30 40 50 5 10 1520 25 0 0 x The slope of a line shows the change of one thing compared to another. Slope = x y run rise Slope = Slope = + 2 40 - 10 20- 5
9
Making a Position -Time graph 2 - walker, 7 - timers, 1 - recorder timers line up 10 metres apart (70 m total distance) all timers start clock when walker begins each timer stops clock when runner passes them walkers must try to maintain a constant velocity the second walker must walk faster than FIRST.
