3
F AST speed depends on distance and time average speed uses total distance and total time
4
F RAME OF R EFERENCE speed is relative FOR is something to compare speed to How fast are you moving now? Earth is rotating at 1,000 mph
5
F RAME OF R EFERENCE Earth is orbiting sun at 66,000 mph Everything in universe is moving
6
F RAME OF R EFERENCE So, if you drive 55 mph, you are going 55mph relative to the earth Universe speed limit: speed of light 3 x 10 8 m/s Is car moving?
7
V ELOCITY Scalar vs. Vector scalar: measures only the amount ex: temperature, area, distance traveled vector: measures both amount and direction vector: scalar and direction ex: weight in which direction is weight directed?
8
D ISPLACEMENT speed = distance / time velocity = displacement / time distance: log of total miles traveled displacement: change in position displacement: distance from start to end arrows mean they are vectors distance displacement

A CCELERATION acceleration the rate of change of velocity final velocity initial velocity refers to speeding up and slowing down or… arrows mean …
22
E XAMPLE A car moving at 20 m/s comes to a stop in four seconds. What was the car’s acceleration? Given: Want:
23
E XAMPLE solve for acceleration said “negative five meters per second per second” negative acceleration means… slowing down
25
A CCELERATION you “feel” speed when you accelerate This includes speeding up, slowing down and sharp turns at constant speed! All three are accelerations
26
E UREKA : A CCELERATION I
27
S PEED VS. T IME G RAPHS look at the slope units are m/s/s=m/s 2 acceleration! same answer as example
28
Speed vs. Time Graphs So, to summarize the graphs: For distance vs. time: slope = speed For speed vs. time: slope = acceleration area under line = distance covered

F REEFALL freefall objects moving under only force of gravity terminal velocity when air resistance becomes equal to gravity due to gravity = g g = 9.8 m/s 2
31
F REEFALL let’s look at the motion of three objects one dropped from rest one thrown downwards one thrown upwards All of these motions are types of… freefall!

35
P UTTING IT TOGETHER Let’s use what we know about graphs to make two more formulas. Let’s look at the graph from t i to t f
36
P UTTING IT TOGETHER each time matches up with a velocity First velocity is v i and last is v f vivi vivi vfvf vfvf
37
P UTTING IT TOGETHER To find distance: area under the line two shapes: triangle and rectangle vivi vivi vfvf vfvf
38
P UTTING IT TOGETHER d = area of rectangle + area of triangle area of rectangle area of triangle vivi vivi vfvf vfvf
39
P UTTING IT TOGETHER we now have a connection between a and d
40
P UTTING IT TOGETHER solve for t from first a equation substitute into second a equation a little fancy algebra and… nice if you do not have t
41
P UTTING IT TOGETHER use equation 1 only if acceleration is zero use equations 2-4 only if constant acceleration
42
P UTTING IT TOGETHER notice there are no arrows they are still all vectors
43
P UTTING IT TOGETHER vectors mean that direction is important ex. positive for up, negative for down
44
E XAMPLE A spear is thrown down at 15 m/s from the top of a bridge at a fish swimming along the surface below. If the bridge is 55 m above the water, how long does the fish have before it gets stuck? Given: Want: why negative?
45
E XAMPLE Which equation has v i, d, a and t ? Eqn 3 works, but…you would need quadratic (bleh!) Eqn 2 would work if we had v f. Eqn 4 can get us v f !
46
E XAMPLE First, eqn. 4 positive or negative?
47
E XAMPLE solve for t in eqn 2. substitute v f into eqn 2.
