1 Do Now: (on index card) 1. How much time did you spend on physics HW this weekend? Are you satisfied with the amount of time/effort you are putting in this course? Are you currently up to date with all assigned HW? 2. A car traveling East at 15 mph maintains its speed as the driver makes a left turn. 2 seconds later the car is traveling north at 15 mph. Did the car accelerate? Explain.

2 Do Now (11/7): 1. What is acceleration? 2. A car traveling East at 15 mph maintains its speed as the driver makes a left turn. 2 seconds later the car is traveling north at 15 mph. Did the car accelerate? Explain. 3. *bonus – What team did the Ravens SWEEP last night?!?!?!

3 Acceleration Acceleration = change in velocity over time Acceleration = change in velocity over time Velocity represents speed AND direction – acceleration is a change in EITHER Velocity represents speed AND direction – acceleration is a change in EITHER

4 Circular Motion 11/7/11

5 Uniform Circular Motion Uniform circular motion: the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed.

6 Speed Circumference = 2*pi*Radius Circumference = 2*pi*Radius v= 2πr/T v= 2πr/T T= period: the time it takes an object t0 revolve around the circle once T= period: the time it takes an object t0 revolve around the circle once

7 Speed Which orange dot moves fastest? Which orange dot moves fastest?

8 Velocity Vector Tangent: a line that touches a circle at one point but does not intersect it. Tangent: a line that touches a circle at one point but does not intersect it.

9 Example: A tube is placed upon the table and shaped into a three-quarters circle. A golf ball is pushed into the tube at one end at high speed. The ball rolls through the tube and exits at the opposite end. Describe the path of the golf ball as it exits the tube.

10 Centripetal Acceleration Centripetal acceleration: the acceleration of an object in circular motion; always points to the center of the circle Centripetal acceleration: the acceleration of an object in circular motion; always points to the center of the circle

11 Example #1 A merry-go-round has radius 5 m. If a boy sits on the edge of the merry-go- round traveling with a speed of 10 m/s, what is his centripetal acceleration?

12 Example #1 A merry-go-round with radius 5 m turning at a speed of 10 m/s. If a boy sits on the edge of the merry-go- round, what it his centripetal acceleration? A merry-go-round with radius 5 m turning at a speed of 10 m/s. If a boy sits on the edge of the merry-go- round, what it his centripetal acceleration? a c =v 2 /r=(10) 2 /5=20 m/s 2 a c =v 2 /r=(10) 2 /5=20 m/s 2

24 Newton’s Second Law for Circular Motion F net =ma c =mv 2 /r F net =ma c =mv 2 /r

25 Centripetal Force F c = mv 2 /r F c = mv 2 /r

26 Example #2 A 9800 N car is driven on a circular track with a diameter of 400.0 m at 20.0 m/s. Calculate the car’s centripetal acceleration & its centripetal force.
