3. P H Y S I C S Objects in Free Fall and Gravity Objectives: 1)We will understand free fall, and how it is impacted by gravity 2)We will understand what forces act upon an object that is thrown up into the air

4. Free Fall  Motion of an object when only gravity is acting on it.

5. Free-fall acceleration The acceleration of an object due only to the effect of gravity

6. Acceleration Due to Gravity g = -9.8 m/s 2 Objects go 9.8 m/s faster each second Negative Velocity  downward movement v = 0 m/s v = -9.8 m/s v = -19.6 m/s v = -29.4 m/s v = -39.2 m/s t = 0 s t = 1 s t = 2 s t = 3 s t = 4 s

7. Human Breaks Sound Barrier World Free Fall Record 10/14/2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtv DA0W34I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtv DA0W34I

8. Position and Velocity and Free Fall t = 0 s t = 1 s t = 2 s t = 3 s t = 4 s Position and velocity can be determined as a function of time If you know the time and position, you can determine the velocity.

9. Which drops first?

10. Bowling Ball and Tennis Ball

11. Demo All objects accelerate at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s 2 regardless of mass or weight 123 TIMES MORE! Bowling Ball = 7 kg Tennis ball = 0.057 kg

12. 1 Second Challenge 1 Second in Air  “A” for the semester  No tardies, cuts or absences 1.225 m in the air to get 1 s.

14. Jordan From Free-Throw Line Time in Air = 0.98 s

15. Objects Thrown Upwards Object thrown upwards experience the same: g = -9.8 m/s 2 9.8 m/s slower each second

16. Acceleration Due to Gravity v = 0 m/s v = +9.8 m/s v = +19.6 m/s v = +29.4 m/s v = -9.8 m/s v = -19.6 m/s v = -29.4 m/s v = -39.2 m/s Velocity Vector Acceleration “g” Vector

17. Velocity Direction Positive (+) value  Up Negative (-) value  Down

18. Peak of the Path Maximum Height Velocity = 0 m/s Returning to Initial Height: Time up = Time down Velocity up = - Velocity down

19. Position vs Time Velocity vs Time What is happening at the apex of the position vs time graph? What is happening in the velocity vs. time graph at the x-axis?
