1. 4 Linear Motion Do Now… Quest will start in a minute… You have 5 minutes to do any last minute preparation!! Everyone should TAKE A RULER to keep from the teacher’s desk. If you need to BORROW a calculator, please trade for one now. **If you did not turn in your Metric Patrol last class, do it now! (10% off each day it is late!**)

2. 4 Linear Motion When you are done with Quest… 1. Place quest in “In Box” on desk; return ruler! 2. Take a copy of the Pre- Assessment; Do your best to complete based on what you already know BEFORE learning the chapter a. Place in OTHER basket on teacher’s desk when done it is HW 3. THEN …Take a copy of vocab. Use your textbook - Ch. 2 - to complete Vocab silently after quest– it is HW if you do not finish in class (5 points)

3. 4 Linear Motion You can describe the motion of an object by its position, speed, direction, and acceleration.

4. 4 Linear Motion An object is moving if its position relative to a fixed point is changing. 2.1 Motion Is Relative

5. 4 Linear Motion Even things that appear to be at rest move. When we describe the motion of one object with respect to another, we say that the object is moving relative to the other object. (in other words, from the perspective of the other object) 2.1 Motion Is Relative

6. 4 Linear Motion The racing cars in the Indy 500 move relative to the track. 2.1 Motion Is Relative

7. 4 Linear Motion Although you may be at rest relative to Earth’s surface, you’re moving a little more than 100,000 km/h relative to the sun. A book that is at rest, relative to the table it lies on, is moving at about 30 kilometers per second relative to the sun. The book moves even faster relative to the center of our galaxy...but just how fast? 2.1 Motion Is Relative

8. 4 Linear Motion FYI… http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/astronomy/planets/earth/Speeds.shtml

9. 4 Linear Motion Unless stated otherwise, the speeds of things in our environment are measured relative to the surface of Earth. 2.1 Motion Is Relative

10. 4 Linear Motion How can you tell if an object is moving?....Who remembers the answer? 2.1 Motion Is Relative An object is moving if its position relative to a fixed point is changing.

11. 4 Linear Motion With the people around you, you have 3 minutes to answer # 1-3 on your guided notes… We will then popcorn answers

12. 4 Linear Motion You can calculate the speed of an object by dividing the distance covered by time. 2.2 Speed

13. 4 Linear Motion Before the time of Galileo, people described moving things as simply “slow” or “fast.” Such descriptions were vague. Galileo is credited as being the first to measure speed by considering the distance covered and the time it takes. Speed is how fast an object is moving. 2.2 Speed

14. 4 Linear Motion Any combination of units for distance and time that are useful and convenient are legitimate for describing speed: miles per hour (mi/h) kilometers per hour (km/h) centimeters per day light-years per century 2.2 Speed

15. 4 Linear Motion We will primarily use the unit meters per second (m/s) for speed. If a cheetah covers 50 meters in a time of 2 seconds, what is its speed? TRY IT in the margin of your guided notes…2 minutes… 2.2 Speed Let’s check…does m/s make sense if we are solving for SPEED?

16. 4 Linear Motion Instantaneous Speed A car does not always move at the same speed. You can tell the speed of the car at any instant by looking at the car’s speedometer. The speed at any instant is called the instantaneous speed. 2.2 Speed

17. 4 Linear Motion The speedometer gives readings of instantaneous speed in both mi/h and km/h. 2.2 Speed

18. 4 Linear Motion Average speed can be calculated easily ( we will practice this later in class): For example, a distance of 240 kilometers during a time of 4 hours is an average speed of 60 km/h: 2.2 Speed

19. 4 Linear Motion Average Speed In a trip by car, the car will certainly not travel at the same speed all during the trip. (You speed up, slow down, stop, go etc…) The driver cares about the average speed for the trip as a whole The average speed is the total distance covered divided by the time. 2.2 Speed

20. 4 Linear Motion If we know average speed and travel time, the distance traveled is easy to find. 2.2 Speed So, how can we solve for TOTAL DISTANCE COVERED? Using basic algebra…. Does anything CANCEL?

21. 4 Linear Motion If we know average speed and travel time, the distance traveled is easy to find. 2.2 Speed So, if your average speed is 80 kilometers per hour on a 4-hour trip, then you cover a total distance of _________________? TRY IT! (on looseleaf, or in the margin of Ch. 2 Guided Notes…work with the people around you, 1 minute!) x

22. 4 Linear Motion 2.2 Speed x So, if your average speed is 80 kilometers per hour on a 4-hour trip, then you cover a total distance of _________? 4 h x 80 km h = 4 x80 km = 1 320km Does anything CANCEL? So we are left with… Let’s check…does km make sense if we are solving for DISTANCE?

23. 4 Linear Motion

26. Closing Take BACK your do now Pre Assessment Now that you have LEARNED how to correctly do this… –Review –FIX any errors in a different color so I can see your thought process –Turn back in as your exit slip –Have a great day
