1. Motion in One Dimension

2. Movement along a straight-line path  Linear motion Convenient to specify motion along the x and y coordinate system

3. Motion in One Dimension Important to specify magnitude & direction of motion (Up or down; North, South, East, or West) Coordinate (x and y) axes Objects right of origin on x axis = positive Objects left of origin on x axis = negative Objects above origin on y axis = positive Objects below origin on y axis = negative POSITION: Location of an object relative to an origin

4. Displacement versus Distance Displacement (x) Distance & direction Measures net change in position Displacement may not equal total distance traveled

5. Distance Distance Total path length traversed in moving from one location to another Example: Jimmy is driving to school but he forgets to pick up Johnny on the way…He now has to reverse his direction and drive back 2 miles Total Distance Traveled = 12 miles Total Displacement = 8 miles + 10 miles - 2 miles

6. Vector Quantity with both magnitude and direction * Represented by arrows in diagrams

7. Displacement

8. Velocity Average velocity Average velocity is the displacement divided by the elapsed time.

9. Speed versus Velocity Speed: Positive number, with units Does not take into account direction Speed is therefore a _ _ _ _ _ _ quantity? Velocity (v): Specifies both the magnitude (numerical value  how fast an object is moving) and also the direction in which an object is moving Velocity is therefore a _ _ _ _ _ _ quantity?

10. Average Velocity The football player ran 50 m in 20 s. What is his average velocity? v = 50 m / 20 s = 2.5 m/s

11. Velocity The World’s Fastest Jet-Engine Car Andy Green in the car ThrustSSC set a world record of 341.1 m/s (762.8 mph) in 1997. To establish such a record, the driver makes two runs through the course, one in each direction, to nullify wind effects. From the data, determine the average velocity for each run.

16. Acceleration Acceleration: Vector quantity  Positive acceleration –  Velocity increasing Negative acceleration –  Velocity decreasing SI units for acceleration: meters/second 2  m/s 2 Acceleration Animation Website Animation - Direction of Acceleration and Velocity Website

18. Motion Equations for Constant Acceleration Constant Acceleration: Instantaneous & average accelerations are equal

19. 1. Displacement  x (meters) 2. Acceleration (constant)  a (m/s 2 ) 3. Final velocity  v (m/s) 4. Initial velocity  v o (m/s) 5. Elapsed time  t (s) Variables

20. Motion Equations for Constant Acceleration

22. Example: Catapulting a Jet ** Find its displacement.

25. An Accelerating Spacecraft A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of +3250 m/s. Suddenly the retrorockets are fired, and the spacecraft begins to slow down with an acceleration whose magnitude is 10.0 m/s 2. What is the velocity of the spacecraft when the displacement of the craft is +215 km, relative to the point where the retrorockets began firing? xavvovo t +215000 m-10.0 m/s 2 ?+3250 m/s

26. xavvovo t +215000 m -10.0 m/s 2 ?+3250 m/s v = 2503 m/s

27. Falling Objects  Galileo Galilei’s  Galileo Galilei’s Contribution  In the absence of air resistance, all objects on Earth fall with the same constant acceleration.  Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8m/s 2

28. Free-fall Any freely falling object being acted upon solely by the force of gravity Ignore air resistance Rate of acceleration due Earth’s gravity g = 9.8 m/s 2 Vector  Direction is towards the center of the Earth

29. Free Fall  Object does not have to be falling to be in free fall  Example - Throwing a ball upward  Motion is still considered to be free fall, since it is moving under the influence of gravity
