Motion and Speed

6. Standard: Use measurement and time-distance graphs to represent the motion of an object in terms of position, direction, or speed.

7. In groups, students will complete mini lab on motion using playing cards to demonstrate direction and distance

8. Procedure Place the playing card on the starting point marked by tape.
Blow softly on the playing card so that it moves forward.
With your ruler, measure the distance from where the playing card started to where it landed and record it in the table below.
Draw the path of the card on the model of the lab table below represented by an arrow.
Do this a total of 3 times, increasing the how hard you blow on the card each time.

9. How far the card travelled
Trial 1 (least)
Trial 2 (medium)
Trial 3 (most)
Questions:
1. Why does the card move when you blow air on it?
2. What is your independent and dependent variable in this mini lab?

10. Reflection

2. Did anything change how far your card went? If yes, what do you think that was?
3. Describe in detail the process you used to find how far the card went each time.
4. Were all the paths exactly the same? Why do you think that is?

11. What is Motion
A change in position

12. What is Motion?
Motion occurs when there is a change in position of an object with respect to a reference starting point.

13. The following terms are used to describe and determine motion:

14. Position Position is the location of an object.
The change in position is determined by the distance and direction of an object’s change in position from the starting point which is called a (displacement).

15. Question
1. can there be more than one position when looking at the motion of an object?

16. Direction
Direction is the line, or path along which something is moving, pointing, or aiming.
Direction is measured using a reference point with terms such as up, down, left, right, forward, backward, toward, away from, north, south, east, or west.

17. Distance
Distance is how far an object travel.
Ex: 10 m

19. 2. How might position, direction and distance relate to one another?
Question
2. How might position, direction and distance relate to one another?

20. Displacement
Displacement is how far an object move in a certain direction.
Ex: 10 m North

21. Displacement
A displacement includes both the distance and a direction.
Examples of Displacements:
- 10 m north
- 23 m left
- 15 m down
Question: How do you know these are displacements?

22. Displacement Displacement = distance + direction 10 m left
So what is the main difference between distance and displacement?

23. Direction

24. Segment Distance (m) Direction X East Y North Z West
 For example, given the following data table, determine the change in the object’s position based on its final position, distance, and direction, from a starting point.
Segment

35. QUESTIONS
Do you think motion stops on its own? Why or why not?
2. What are some ways we might be able to represent force and motion visually?

36. Speed Speed does not necessarily mean that something is moving fast.
Speed is a measure of how fast something moves a particular distance (for example, meters) over a given amount of time (for example, seconds).
Therefore, speed is the rate of change of the position of an object, or how far something will move in a given period of time.
Speed does not necessarily mean that something is moving fast.

37. Speed What do speed include? Distance and Time
What is the formula for speed?
Velocity (speed with a direction) = Distance / Time or V= D/T
What is the unit for speed
Velocity (m/s)= Distance (m) / Time (s)
Unit for Speed is m/s

38. Velocity
Velocity is how far something moves a particular distance over a given amount of time with a direction.
Therefore, velocity is speed with a direction.

39. Distance-Time Graph
A Distance-Time Graph is a graph that can be used to represent how both speed and distance change with time.
For this type of graph, time (the independent variable) is plotted on the x-axis and the distance (the dependent variable) is plotted on the y-axis.

40. Speed The slope of the line can tell the relative speed of the object.
When the slope of the line is steep, the speed is faster than if the slope were flatter.
When the slope of the line is flatter, the speed is slower.
When the slope of the line is horizontal to the x-axis, the speed is zero (the object is not moving). For example:

44. QUESTIONS
1. What does the slope of the line in a distance-time graph tell us?
2. what is the x-axis and y-axis on a distance-time graph?

46. Distance-Time graph
This distance-time graph can then be used to describe the speed of the object. For example, the speed of segment A is slower than segment C. The speed of segment B is zero, the object is not moving.

47. QUESTIONS
1. How do time and distance relate to an independent and dependent variable?
2. Why would we use a distance-time graph?

61. 8-5.2 Use the formula for average speed, v=d/t, to solve real world problems.

62. Calculating Speed
Average speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance the object travels by the total amount of time it takes to travel that distance.
Constant speed will have the same speed throughout.

63. Calculating Speed
Speed measurements contain a unit of distance divided by a unit of time. Examples of units of speed might include:
meters per second” (m/s),
“kilometers per hour” (km/h),
or “miles per hour” mph or (mi/hr).

64. Calculating Speed
Average speed can be calculated using the formula v=d/t where the variables are:
v is the velocity/average speed of the object
d is the total distance or length of the path of the object
t is the total time taken to cover the path

65. Speed Formula V = d/t Velocity = Distance / Time
m/s = meters divided by seconds
