Acceleration/time graphs
13
Constant/uniform acceleration?

14
Note! The area under an acceleration/time graph gives the change in velocity acceleration time
15
Displacement Displacement the distance moved in a stated direction (the distance and direction from the starting point). A VECTOR
16
Displacement/time graphs
Usually in 1 dimension (+ = forward and - = backwards) Displacement/m Time/s
17
Velocity? Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. Also a VECTOR
18
Velocity/time graphs Usually in 1 dimension (+ = forward and - = backwards) Ball being thrown into the air, gradient = constant = m.s-2 velocity/m.s-1 Time/s
19
Acceleration? Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Also a VECTOR
20
Acceleration/time graphs
Usually in 1 dimension (+ = up and - = down) Acceleration = constant = m.s-2 accel/m.s-2 Time/s
21
Average speed/velocity?
Average speed/velocity is change in distance/displacement divided by time taken over a period of time.
22
Instantaneous speed/velocity?
Instantaneous speed/velocity is the change in distance/displacement divided by time at one particular time.
23
The equations of motion
The equations of motion can be used when an object is accelerating at a steady rate There are four equations relating five quantities u initial velocity, v final velocity, s displacement, a acceleration, t time SUVAT equations
24
The four equations 1 This is a re-arrangement of 2
NOT in data book The four equations 1 This is a re-arrangement of 2 This says displacement = average velocity x time 3 With zero acceleration, this becomes displacement = velocity x time 4 Useful when you don’t know the time
25
Beware! All quantities are vectors (except time!). These equations are normally done in one dimension, so a negative result means displacement/velocity/acceleration in the opposite direction.

57
Imagine a dog being thrown out of an aeroplane.
Woof! (help!)
58
Force of gravity means the dog accelerates
To start, the dog is falling slowly (it has not had time to speed up). There is really only one force acting on the dog, the force of gravity. The dog falls faster (accelerates) due to this force. gravity
59
Gravity is still bigger than air resistance
As the dog falls faster, another force becomes bigger – air resistance. The force of gravity on the dog of course stays the same The force of gravity is still bigger than the air resistance, so the dog continues to accelerate (get faster) gravity
60
Gravity = air resistance Terminal velocity
As the dog falls faster and air resistance increases, eventually the air resistance becomes as big as (equal to) the force of gravity. The dog stops getting faster (accelerating) and falls at constant velocity. This velocity is called the terminal velocity. Air resistance gravity
61
Falling without air resistance
This time there is only one force acting in the ball - gravity gravity
62
Falling without air resistance
The ball falls faster…. gravity
63
Falling without air resistance
The ball falls faster and faster……. gravity
64
Falling without air resistance
The ball falls faster and faster and faster……. It gets faster by 9.81 m/s every second (9.81 m/s2) This number is called “g”, the acceleration due to gravity. gravity
65

Gravity What is gravity?
71
Gravity Gravity is a force between ALL objects! Gravity
72
Gravity The size of the force depends on the mass of the objects. The bigger they are, the bigger the force! Small attractive force Bigger attractive force
73
Gravity The size of the force also depends on the distance between the objects.
74
Gravity We only really notice the gravitational attraction to big objects! Hola! ¿Como estas?
75
Gravity The force of gravity on something is called its weight. Because it is a force it is measured in Newtons. Weight
76
Gravity 800 N On the earth, Mr George’s weight is around 800 N.
I love physics! 800 N
77
Gravity On the moon, his weight is around 130 N. Why? 130 N
78
Gravity In deep space, far away from any planets or stars his weight is almost zero. (He is weightless). Why? Cool!
79
Mass Mass is a measure of the amount of material an object is made of and also its resistance to motion (inertia). It is measured in kilograms.
80
Mass Mr George has a mass of around 77 kg. This means he is made of 77 kg of blood, bones, hair and poo! 77kg
81
Mass On the moon, Mr George hasn’t changed (he’s still Mr George!). That means he still is made of 77 kg of blood, bones, hair and poo! 77kg
82
Gravity In deep space, Mr George still hasn’t changed (he’s still Mr George!). That means he still is made of 77 kg of blood, bones, hair and poo! I feel sick! 77kg
83
Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
Calculating weight To calculate the weight of an object you multiply the object’s mass by the gravitational field strength wherever you are. Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
84
Newton’s 1st Law An object continues in uniform motion in a straight line or at rest unless a resultant external force acts
85
Newton’s first law Galileo imagined a marble rolling in a very smooth (i.e. no friction) bowl.
86
Newton’s first law If you let go of the ball, it always rolls up the opposite side until it reaches its original height (this actually comes from the conservation of energy).
87
Newton’s first law No matter how long the bowl, this always happens.
constant velocity
88
Newton’s first law Galileo imagined an infinitely long bowl where the ball never reaches the other side!
89
Newton’s first law The ball travels with constant velocity until its reaches the other side (which it never does!). Galileo realised that this was the natural state of objects when no (resultant ) forces act. constant velocity
90
Another example Imagine Mr George cycling at constant velocity.
91
Newton’s 1st law He is providing a pushing force. Constant velocity
92
Newton’s 1st law There is an equal and opposite friction force.
Pushing force friction Constant velocity
93
Newton’s second law Newton’s second law concerns examples where there is a resultant force.
94
Let’s go back to Mr George on his bike.
Remember when the forces are balanced (no resultant force) he travels at constant velocity. Pushing force friction Constant velocity
95
Newton’s 2nd law Now lets imagine what happens if he pedals faster.
Pushing force friction
96
Newton’s 2nd law His velocity changes (goes faster). He accelerates!
Remember from last year that acceleration is rate of change of velocity. In other words acceleration = (change in velocity)/time Pushing force friction acceleration
97
Newton’s 2nd law Now imagine what happens if he stops pedalling.
friction
98
Newton’s 2nd law So when there is a resultant force, an object accelerates (changes velocity) Mr George’s Porche Pushing force friction
99
It’s physics, there’s always a mathematical relationship!
Newton’s 2nd law There is a mathematical relationship between the resultant force and acceleration. Resultant force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (ms-2) It’s physics, there’s always a mathematical relationship! FR = ma
100
An example Resultant force = 100 – 60 = 40 N FR = ma 40 = 100a
a = 0.4 m/s2 Mass of Mr George and bike = 100 kg Pushing force (100 N) Friction (60 N)
101
Newton’s 3rd law If a body A exerts a force on body B, body B will exert an equal but opposite force on body A. Hand (body A) exerts force on table (body B) Table (body B) exerts force on hand (body A)
102
Free-body diagrams Shows the magnitude and direction of all forces acting on a single body The diagram shows the body only and the forces acting on it.
103
Examples Mass hanging on a rope T (tension in rope) W (weight)
104
Examples Inclined slope
If a body touches another body there is a force of reaction or contact force. The force is perpendicular to the body exerting the force Inclined slope R (normal reaction force) F (friction) W (weight)
105
Examples String over a pulley T (tension in rope) T (tension in rope)

106
Momentum Momentum is a useful quantity to consider when thinking about "unstoppability". It is also useful when considering collisions and explosions. It is defined as Momentum (kg.m.s-1) = Mass (kg) x Velocity (m.s-1) p = mv
107
Law of conservation of momentum
The law of conservation of linear momentum says that “in an isolated system, momentum remains constant”. We can use this to calculate what happens after a collision (and in fact during an “explosion”).
108
Law of conservation of momentum
In a collision between two objects, momentum is conserved (total momentum stays the same). i.e. Total momentum before the collision = Total momentum after Momentum is not energy!
109
A harder example! A car of mass 1000 kg travelling at 5 m.s-1 hits a stationary truck of mass 2000 kg. After the collision they stick together. What is their joint velocity after the collision?
110
A harder example! Before
2000kg 1000kg 5 m.s-1 Momentum before = 1000x x0 = 5000 kg.m.s-1 Combined mass = 3000 kg After V m.s-1 Momentum after = 3000v
111
Momentum before = momentum after
A harder example The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum before equals momentum after, so Momentum before = momentum after 5000 = 3000v V = 5000/3000 = 1.67 m.s-1
112
Momentum is a vector Momentum is a vector, so if velocities are in opposite directions we must take this into account in our calculations
113
An even harder example! Snoopy (mass 10kg) running at 4.5 m.s-1 jumps onto a skateboard of mass 4 kg travelling in the opposite direction at 7 m.s-1. What is the velocity of Snoopy and skateboard after Snoopy has jumped on? I love physics
114
An even harder example! Because they are in opposite directions, we make one velocity negative 10kg -4.5 m.s-1 4kg 7 m.s-1 Momentum before = 10 x x 7 = = -17 14kg v m.s-1 Momentum after = 14v
115
Momentum before = Momentum after
An even harder example! Momentum before = Momentum after -17 = 14v V = -17/14 = m.s-1 The negative sign tells us that the velocity is from left to right (we choose this as our “negative direction”)
116
“Explosions” - recoil
117
Impulse = Change in momentum
Ft = mv – mu The quantity Ft is called the impulse, and of course mv – mu is the change in momentum (v = final velocity and u = initial velocity) Impulse = Change in momentum
118
Impulse Ft = mv – mu F = Δp/Δt
119
Units Impulse is measured in N.s (Ft) or kg.m.s-1 (mv – mu)
120
In this case mv – mu = -3m -5m = -8m
5 m/s -3 m/s Impulse Note; For a ball bouncing off a wall, don’t forget the initial and final velocity are in different directions, so you will have to make one of them negative. In this case mv – mu = -3m -5m = -8m
121
Example Szymon punches Eerik in the face. If Eerik’s head (mass 10 kg) was initially at rest and moves away from Szymon’s fist at 3 m/s, what impulse was delivered to Eerik’s head? If the fist was in contact with the face for 0.2 seconds, what was the force of the punch? m = 10kg, t = 0.2, u = 0, v = 3 Impulse = Ft = mv – mu = 10x3 – 10x0 = 30 Ns Impulse = Ft = 30 Fx0.2 = 30 F = 30/0.2 = 150 N
122
Another example Impulse = mv – mu = = 0.3x-6 – 0.3x3 = -2.7kg.m.s-1
A tennis ball (0.3 kg) hits a racquet at 3 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction at 6 m/s. What impulse is given to the ball? Impulse = mv – mu = = 0.3x-6 – 0.3x3 = -2.7kg.m.s-1 3 m/s -6 m/s
123
Area under a force-time graph = impulse
Area = impulse
124
Work In physics, work has a special meaning, different to “normal” English.
125
Work In physics, work is the amount of energy transformed (changed) when a force moves (in the direction of the force)
126
Calculating work The amount of work done (measured in Joules) is equal to the force used (Newtons) multiplied by the distance the force has moved (metres). Force (N) Distance travelled (m)
127
Work (J)= Force(N) x distance(m)
W = Fscosθ
128
Important The force has to be in the direction of movement. Carrying the shopping home is not work in physics!
129
Work = Fscosθ What if the force is at an angle to the distance moved?
130
Lifting objects Our lifting force is equal to the weight of the object. Lifting force weight
131
Work done (J) = Force (N) x distance (m)
A woman pushes a car with a force of 400 N at an angle of 10° to the horizontal for a distance of 15m. How much work has she done? W = Fscosθ = 400x15x0.985 W = 5900 J
132
Work done (J) = Force (N) x distance (m)
A man lifts a mass of 120 kg to a height of 2.5m. How much work did he do? Force = weight = 1200N Work = F x d = 1200 x 2.5 Work = 3000 J
133
Power! Power is the amount of energy transformed (changed) per second. It is measured in Watts (1 Watt = 1 J/s) Power = Energy transformed time
134
Work done in stretching a spring
Work done in strectching spring = area under graph F/N x/m
135
Chemical kinetic gravitational
Gain in GPE = work done = m x g x Δh
136
ΔEp = mgΔh m kg Joules N/kg or m/s2
137
Example Woof! (help!) A dog of mass 12 kg falls from an aeroplane at a height of 3.4 km. How much gravitational energy does the dog lose as it falls to the ground
138
Example On earth g = 10 m/s2 Mass of dog = 12 kg
Height = 3.4 km = 3400 m
139
Example On earth g = 10 m/s2 Mass of dog = 12 kg
GPE lost by dog = mgh = 12 x 10 x 3400 = J Height = 3.4 km = 3400 m
140
Just before the dog hits the ground, what has this GPE turned into?
Example GPE lost by dog = mgh = 12 x 10 x 3400 = J Just before the dog hits the ground, what has this GPE turned into?
141
Kinetic energy Kinetic energy of an object can be found using the following formula Ek = mv2 2 where m = mass (in kg) and v = speed (in m/s)
142
Example A bullet of mass 150 g is travelling at 400 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have? Ek = mv2/2 = (0.15 x (400)2)/2 = J
143
Energy changes
144
Energy transfer (change)
A lamp turns electrical energy into heat and light energy
145
Sankey Diagram A Sankey diagram helps to show how much light and heat energy is produced
146
Sankey Diagram The thickness of each arrow is drawn to scale to show the amount of energy
147
Sankey Diagram Notice that the total amount of energy before is equal to the total amount of energy after (conservation of energy)
148
Efficiency Although the total energy out is the same, not all of it is useful.
149
Efficiency Efficiency is defined as Efficiency = useful energy output
total energy input
150
Example Efficiency = 75 = 0.15=15% 500
151
Energy efficient light bulb
Efficiency = 75 = 0.75 100 That’s much better!
152
Elastic collisions No loss of kinetic energy (only collisions between subatomic particles)
153
Inelastic collisions Kinetic energy lost (but momentum stays the same!)
154

Dog in orbit! The dog is now in orbit! (assuming no air resistance of course)
164
Dog in orbit! The dog is falling towards the earth, but never gets there!
165
Dogs in orbit! The force that keeps an object moving in a circle is called the centripetal force (here provided by gravity) Gravity
166
Other examples Earth’s gravitational attraction on moon
167
Uniform Circular Motion
This describes an object going around a circle at constant speed
168
Direction of centripetal acceleration/force
Change in velocity VB VA VB VA VA + change in velocity = VB The change in velocity (and thus the acceleration) is directed towards the centre of the circle.
169
Uniform circular motion
The centripetal acceleration/force is always directed towards the centre of the circle Centripetal force/acceleration velocity
170
Not uniform velocity Uniform speed ≠ uniform velocity
It is important to remember that though the speed is constant, the direction is changing all the time, so the velocity is changing. Uniform speed ≠ uniform velocity
171
How big is the centripetal acceleration?
a = v2 = 4π2r r T2 where a is the centripetal acceleration (m.s-2), r is the radius of the circle (m), and v is the constant speed (m.s-1).
172
How big is the centripetal force?
F = mv2 r from F = ma (Newton’s 2nd law) Centripetal Force - The Real Force
173
Work done? None! Because the force is always perpendicular to the motion, no work is done by the centripetal force.
174
That’s it!
