Chapter 2 Linear Motion In one Dimension
3
Motion When position changes over a time interval; movement; change in location The simplest form is when movement is in only 1 direction or line—one dimensional “Direction” can be up, down, left, right, positive, negative, north, south, east, west, …
4
Motion Frame of reference - the coordinate system for specifying the location of objects in space. This can be thought of as the x -axis (or y -axis) for one- dimensional motion. The choice of a frame of reference can make doing problems easier or harder We will typically call this x direction for this chapter
5
Example—position using “ x”
6
Displacement The length of the straight line drawn from an object's initial position to its final position (straight line change in position) Displacements will be positive or negative since we are only using one dimension Displacement is NOT distance, it includes the direction (+ or - sign) Distance is total length moved, there is no positive or negative movements
7
Distance versus Displacement xixi xfxf
8
Displacement Calculating displacement: Δ x is the displacement –Subscript i means “initial” or start position ( x i ) –Subscript f means “final” or end position ( x f ) –Greek delta ( ) means “change in” or difference, which will always be final - initial Packet examples
9
Displacement Example If you walk 100 m East and then turn around and walk 20 m West, A)What is the distance you walked? B)What is your displacement? A) 120 m B) 80 m East
10
Velocity Velocity includes both speed and direction Velocity is NOT the same as speed because velocity includes direction (velocity can be + or -), speed is only “how fast”, or magnitude Velocity is measured in (S.I.) units of meter per second (m/s) and is represented by the letter “ v ” There are 2 types of Velocity: average and instantaneous (at a moment in time)
11
Velocity Average Velocity is displacement divided by the time interval during which it happened Speed is usually considered to be distance time, or velocity without direction (Packet ex). Speed is also the magnitude of a velocity, which means the “number” without direction.
12
Examples If you walk to down the hall (West) 75 meters in 50 seconds, what is your average velocity? Joe Schmo and Elliot Schmuck go for a walk at 1.3 m/sec East for 30 min. –A) How far did they go? –B) Upon returning home, how far did they travel? –C) What is their displacement?
13
Another Example Homer drives his car at an average velocity of 48 km/hr East. –A) How long will it take to drive 144 km? –B) How much time would he save by increasing his average speed to 56 km/hr?
14
Holt Book Problem Page 43, #3 An athlete swims from the north end to the south end of a 50.0 m pool in 20.0 s and makes the return trip to the starting position in 22.0 s. What is the average velocity for: a)the first half of the swim? b)the second half of the swim? c)the roundtrip?
15
Velocity Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of an object at one particular point in time (or one point in its path). We will use graphs to help understand both types of velocity Two types of graphs for motion study
16
Velocity and d vs t graphs Position (or displacement, d ) versus time graphs provide information on velocity An object moving at a constant speed is represented by a straight-line on the position versus time graph. In this instance the average velocity equals a constant velocity. PositionPosition Time = Constantly changing position
17
Velocity and d vs t graphs Average velocity can be determined by drawing a straight line between any 2 points. The slope of the line gives the average velocity between those 2 points. Instantaneous velocity is the slope of the tangent line at a point. What does “-” slope mean? What does slope = 0 mean? PositionPosition Time
18
Velocity and d vs t graphs Slope = rise/run “y” axis (rise) is position, d, or x from our equations “x” axis (run) is time, t same! So v is the slope of the position graph
19
Example A)Where is the particle at t = 4 sec? B)What is the total displacement of the object over the entire trip? From t = [2, 7]sec? C)At what interval is the object not moving? D)How fast is the object moving at t = 3 sec? from t = [7, 8]sec? E)What interval(s) does the object have the greatest velocity?
20
Changing Velocity? What happens on the d vs t graph if the speed is changing? Velocity is slope, so the slope changes Graph is “curved” What’s happening is called acceleration
21
Acceleration Acceleration measures the rate of change in velocity of an object, or “how fast velocity is changing”. Any change in velocity is acceleration (speed or direction) Acceleration, like velocity, has a magnitude (size) and direction, so it can be + or -. Acceleration is measured in (S.I.) units of meter/second/second, or m/s 2 and is represented by the letter “ a ”
22
Acceleration The equation for average acceleration is: We will use constant acceleration, so “average” is the same as constant a The squared second: a = v/t so in units a =
23
Acceleration – 0 + Displacement + or – Velocity + or – What does + or – acceleration mean? If + v has + a ? If + v has – a ? If – v has + a ? If – v has – a ? Speeding up, moving positive Slowing down, moving positive Slowing down, moving negative Speeding up, moving negative
24
Acceleration Example

Acceleration (Left) Col. John Stapp on rocket sled. (Right) Col. Stapp’s face is contorted by the stress of rapid negative acceleration. [46.2G) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4JTPg_boNw Col: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4tuvOer_GI
26
Acceleration Acceleration Example With an average acceleration of -0.50 m/s 2, how long will it take a cyclist to bring a bicycle with an initial speed of 13.5 m/s to a complete stop? Packet Given:Find:
27
Understanding check What are 3 different ways to accelerate? Speed up Slow down Change direction (turn) Back to graphing…
28
Acceleration Acceleration and d vs t graphs Constant acceleration on a d vs t graph shows the changing velocity Since velocity is slope, the slope is changing. This results in a curved graph. Examples We’ll also use another type of graph for this- NEXT! PositionPosition Time
29
Acceleration Acceleration and v vs t Graphs Like position versus time graphs, velocity versus time graphs give us information about the motion of an object. The slope on a velocity versus time graph represents acceleration. If the slope is constant, the acceleration is constant VelocityVelocity Time
30
Acceleration Acceleration and v vs t Graphs The “area under the curve” on a v vs t graph is the displacement x = v t Negative velocity has negative area Area always calc from plot line to horizontal axis (time) VelocityVelocity Time
31
Example A)How fast is the particle moving at 3.5 sec? 7.5 sec? B)How far did the particle go in the first 3 sec? C)What is the acceleration from t = [6, 9]sec D)What is the acceleration at 4.68 sec? E)What is the total distance the particle traveled? Displacement? F)What is the average velocity from t = [0,5]sec?

Question—Match the velocity graphs with their acceleration graph
35
Problems of Constant Acceleration When acceleration is constant, the equations for x, v, t, & a can be combined into 4 equations for problem solving, called Kinematics equations. Derivations for each are in the book 5 Variables you know: x, t, v i, v f,a You may need to use more than one equation to solve problems
36
Constant Acceleration: Kinematics See Page 54
37
Problem solving procedure Identify & list knowns/givens (3) –Check units –Identify unknowns Select best equation(s) Solve: use formula(s) and solve, then substitute values –Or, substitute values and solve Examples
38
Example Problem Cory’s car accelerates at 0.8 m/s 2. Starting from a stop sign, what is his speed after 20 m? How long did the above take?
39
Examples An airplane lands moving at 80 m/s and must stop in 250 m. What acceleration must the airplane have? John rides on Kingda Ka at Six Flags. He knows the ride starts at rest and takes 3.5s to accelerate to full speed. He also notices the track is marked 100m from the start to full speed position. John wants to know how fast the ride is going at the end of the acceleration. How fast is Kingda Ka going? http://www.sixflags.com/greatAdventure/rides/Kingdaka.aspx http://www.sixflags.com/greatAdventure/rides/Kingdaka.aspx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN8nv4tVFuA http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/kingda-ka-the-countrys-tallest-and-fastest- roller-coaster/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN8nv4tVFuAhttp://www.cbsnews.com/videos/kingda-ka-the-countrys-tallest-and-fastest- roller-coaster/
40
Example You are designing an airport for small planes. One kind of airplane that might use this airfield must reach a speed before takeoff of at least 27.8 m/sec and can accelerate at 2.0 m/sec 2. A)If the runway is 150 m long, can this plane reach proper speed? B)If not, what minimum length must it be?
41
Examples A sprinter can go from 0 to 7 m/sec for a distance of 2 m and continue at the same speed for the rest of a 20 m sprint. A)What is the runner’s initial acceleration? B)How long does it take the runner to go the entire 20 m?
42
Next … If dropped at the same time from the same height, which hits the ground first? A bowling ball or a volleyball? It’s a matter of acceleration—constant acceleration! EVERYTHING falls with the same constant acceleration ! (ignoring air resistance)
43
Free Falling… The most common constant acceleration is due to gravity When in Free Fall, and object is only acted on by gravity. We ignore air resistance. Acceleration due to gravity is essentially constant on the surface of the earth, so it is a constant value represented by “ g ”
44
Free Fall “ g ” has been measured to be 9.81 m/s 2 (or 9.8 is OK too) Acceleration has direction; gravity always pulls down (to center of earth) We will pick “up” as “+” and “down” as “ ”, and we’ll use y (not x ) for vertical motion So, the acceleration for anything in free fall without air resistance is: without air resistance a y = g = 9.81 m/s 2 (free fall acceleration)
45
Free Fall: 2 cases Dropping: –The instant an object is dropped, v i = 0 –Velocity is maximum as it hits the ground –http://wimp.com/waterprinter/ http://wimp.com/hadthis/ http://www.wimp.com/firstman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtvDA0W34Ihttp://wimp.com/waterprinter/http://wimp.com/hadthis/ http://www.wimp.com/firstman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtvDA0W34I Throwing/Shooting/Launching upward: –Once an object is in the air, what is its acceleration? –What is the velocity at the top of its flight? Problems can have motion broken into parts in order to solve
46
Free Fall Up and down motion is symmetric, so velocity at any point going up is the same as the velocity going down (at the same height), except its in the opposite direction ViVi V f = V i + y direction only! V=0
47
Question A skydiver jumps out of a helicopter. A few seconds later, another skydiver jumps out, so they both fall along the same vertical line. Ignoring air resistance, does the vertical distance between them A)Increase B)Decrease C)Stay the same –http://wimp.com/waterprinter/http://wimp.com/waterprinter/
48
Equations in y: vertical
49
Example A)How long does it take a ball to fall from the roof of a 150 m tall building? B)How fast is it moving when it reaches the ground?
50
Example Some nut standing on the 8th street bridge in Allentown throws a tennis ball 6 m/sec straight down onto passing cars but misses. If it takes 1.63 sec to hit the ground, A)how high is the bridge? B)How fast is the ball moving just before it hits the ground?
51
Questions A ball is thrown vertically upward. While the ball is in freefall, does the acceleration A)Increase B)Decrease C)Remain constant After a ball is thrown vertically upward and is in the air, its speed A)Increases B)Decreases C)Decreases then increases D)Increases then decreases E)Remains constant
52
Example Laiken tries to throw a volleyball straight up from the bottom of the stairs to Kahli at the top. Unfortunately she comes up short, as it only goes up 4.5 m. What was the initial velocity of the ball? How long was the ball in the air? How fast is the ball going when it returns to her hand (at same height as thrown)
