A Brief Review Speed: Rate of change of distance Speed: Rate of change of distance v = distance traveled/time for travel v = distance traveled/time for travel v = x/t v = x/t
7
Example Suppose that we have a car that covers 20 miles in 30 minutes. What was its average speed? Suppose that we have a car that covers 20 miles in 30 minutes. What was its average speed? Speed = (20 mi)/(30 min) = 0.67 mi/min OR Speed = (20 mi)/(0.5 hr) = 40 mi/hr Note: Units of speed are distance divided by time.
8
A Brief Review Given the speed, we can also calculate the distance traveled in a given time. Given the speed, we can also calculate the distance traveled in a given time. distance = (speed)×(time) x = v×t Example: If speed = 35m/s, how far do we travel in 1 hour.

Velocity Velocity: Rate of change of Displacement Velocity: Rate of change of Displacement v = displacement/time of movement v = displacement/time of movement Velocity is a vector that tells us how fast and in what direction Velocity is a vector that tells us how fast and in what direction v = x/t v = x/t
11
Example: Plane Flight to Chicago Displacement: 133 mi northeast Displacement: 133 mi northeast Time = ½ hr Time = ½ hr v = 133 mi northeast/½ hr v = 133 mi northeast/½ hr v= 266 mi/hr northeast v= 266 mi/hr northeast

A Brief Review Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity a = velocity change/time of change a = velocity change/time of change a = v/t a = v/t
18
We may have acceleration (i.e. a change in velocity) by We may have acceleration (i.e. a change in velocity) by 1. Changing speed (increase or decrease) 2. Changing direction Units of Acceleration = units of speed/time (m/s)/s = m/s 2 (mi/hr)/day

Unit Conversion Essentially just multiply the quantity you want to convert by a judiciously selected expression for 1. Essentially just multiply the quantity you want to convert by a judiciously selected expression for 1. For example, 12 in is the same as 1 ft For example, 12 in is the same as 1 ft To convert one foot to inches To convert one foot to inches [1 ft/1 ft] = 1 = [12in/1ft] So 1 ft x [12 in/1 ft] = 12 in The ft will cancel and leave the units you want
23
Convert 27 in into feet. 27 in x [1 ft/12 in] = 27/12 ft = 2.25 ft 27 in x [1 ft/12 in] = 27/12 ft = 2.25 ft Works for all units. If the unit to be converted is in the numerator, make sure it is in the denominator when you multiply. If the unit to be converted is in the denominator, make sure it is in the numerator when you multiply.

1.609km = 1 mi. To find out how many miles are 75 km I would multiply the 75 km by A. [1 mi/1.609 km] B. [1.609 km/1 mi]
25
Convert 65 mi/hr to m/s. 65 mi/hr x [1609 m/1 mi] x [1 hr/60 min] x [1 min/60 s]
26
Convert 65 mi/hr to m/s. 65 mi/hr x [1609 m/1 mi] x [1 hr/60 min] x [1 min/60 s] = 29 m/s
27
Find the speed of light in c = 3 x 10 8 m/s 3 x 10 8 m/s x [100 cm/1 m] x [1 in/2.54 cm] x [1 ft/12 in] x [1 furlong/660 ft] x [60 s/1 min] x [60 min/1 hr] [24 hr/1 day] x [14 day/1 fortnight] = 1.8 x 10 12 furlongs/fortnight

Newton’s Laws
30
I An object won’t change its state of motion unless a net force acts on it.
31
I A body moving at constant velocity has zero Net Force acting on it
32
II A net force is needed to change the state of motion of an object.
33
II Defines force: F = ma
34
III When you push on something, it pushes back on you.
35
III Action-reaction pairs (forces) act on different objects
36
I An object won’t change its state of motion unless a net force acts on it. Originally discovered by Galileo Defines inertia: resistance to change Mass is measure of inertia (kg) A body moving at constant velocity has zero Net Force acting on it
37
II A net force is needed to change the state of motion of an object. Defines force: F = ma Da given force, a small mass experiences a big acceleration and a big mass experiences a small acceleration Unit of force is the Newton (N)
38
III When you push on something, it pushes back on you. Forces always exist in pairs Actin-reaction pairs act on different objects A statement of conservation of momentum

Force due to Gravity Force due to gravity is weight Force due to gravity is weight Dropped objects near Earth’s surface experience g = 9.8m/s 2, regardless of mass Dropped objects near Earth’s surface experience g = 9.8m/s 2, regardless of mass Neglects air friction Neglects air friction Weight is the gravitational force on a mass Weight is the gravitational force on a mass F = ma or W = mg

3. If and object (A) exerts a force on an object (B), then object B exerts an equal but oppositely directed force on A. When you are standing on the floor, you are pushing down on the floor (Weight) but the floor pushes you back up so you don’t accelerate. If you jump out of an airplane, the earth exerts a force on you so you accelerate towards it. You put an equal (but opposite) force on the earth, but since its mass is so big its acceleration is very small
45

46
When a bug hit the windshield of a car, which one experiences the larger acceleration? A. The bug B. The car C. They experience the same force, so they experience the same acceleration

Example Calculations Suppose you start from rest and undergo constant acceleration (a) for a time (t). How far do you go. Suppose you start from rest and undergo constant acceleration (a) for a time (t). How far do you go. Initial speed =0 Final speed = v=at Average speed v avg = (Final speed – Initial speed)/2 V avg = ½ at Now we can calculate the distance traveled as d= v avg t = (½ at) t = ½ at 2 Note: This is only true for constant acceleration.
