2. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY Displacement -The length of the straight line drawn from your initial position to your final position as you move from one position to another Change in position of an object Measured in meters Displacement does NOT equal distance traveled

3. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY XiXi XfXf

4. Displacement is an example of a quantity that has both direction and magnitude In 1D motion there are only two directions in which an object can move These can be specified by plus and minus signs Unless otherwise specified assume motion to the right is positive and motion to the left is negative Similarly upward motion will be considered positive and downward displacement will be considered negative

5. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY The choice of right as positive and left as negative is what is known as a convention Convention -is a system that is chosen for convenience and consistency, not necessarily because it has to be that way The convention can be reversed

6. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY Velocity -The quantity that measures how fast something moves from one point to another Has direction and magnitude

7. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY

8. Practice finding average velocity During a race on level ground, Andra covers 825 m in 137 s while running due west. Find Andra’s average velocity If you left your house at 10 A.M. and arrived at your grandma’s house at 3 P.M. and your grandma’s house is 370 km to the west, What was your average velocity for the trip?

9. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY The average velocity is equal to the constant velocity you would need to have to cover the given displacement in a given time interval

10. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY In physics speed does NOT equal velocity Velocity has direction and magnitude, speed only has magnitude Average velocity depends on the total displacement Average speed is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time interval

11. DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY When graphing velocity graph time vs. position The line connecting one point to another point indicates the average velocity The slope of the line connecting the first point to the last point equals the average velocity You can tell a lot about the velocity of an object by the shape of its position-time graph

12. ACCELERATION

13. Acceleration has direction and magnitude When Δv is positive the acceleration is positive When velocity is constant, the acceleration is equal to zero When something is slowing down the velocity is positive, however, the acceleration is negative A negative value for acceleration can also occur when an object is moving in the negative direction and accelerating. This object decelerating would have a positive value

15. ACCELERATION Ball is fired with constant acceleration. A picture is taken every tenth of a second Velocity increases by exactly the same amount during each time interval Displacement for each time interval increases by the same amount

16. ACCELERATION

17. A racing car reaches a speed of 4.2 m/s. It then begins a uniform negative acceleration, using its parachute and braking system, and comes to rest 5.5s later. Find how far the car moves while stopping.

18. ACCELERATION

19. A plane starting at rest at one end of a runway undergoes a constant acceleration of 4.8 m/s 2 for 15 s before takeoff. What is its speed at takeoff? How long must the runway be for the plane to be able to take off?

20. ACCELERATION

21. A babysitter pushing a stroller starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.500 m/s 2. What is the velocity of the stroller after it has traveled 4.75 m?
