MOTION
2
Motion Speed describes Motion
3
Motion Speed describes Motion Describes rate at which an object moves
4
Motion Speed describes Motion Describes rate at which an object moves Calculated by distance/time
5
Motion Speed describes Motion Describes rate at which an object moves Calculated by distance/time s=d/t
6
Motion Speed describes Motion Describes rate at which an object moves Calculated by distance/time s=d/t SI unit of measurement=meters/second
7
Motion Rate of motion varies for different moving objects~ this variation requires appropriate units of measurement to accurately describe an object’s speed
8
Motion For example: m/s works well for describing the speed of a rocket escaping Earth’s atmosphere
9
a rocket’s escape speed is measured in km/s
10
a rocket’s escape speed is measured in km/s & is app. 34 xs faster than the speed of sound (Mach 34)
11
Geological plate movement is expressed in centimeters/year
12
It has taken app. 300 million years for plates to move to where they are today
13
Consider a car traveling at highway speed… miles/hour is the units of measurement given for a car’s speed (in America)
14
most other places use the metric system when expressing car speed
15
A car’s speedometer gives instantaneous speed which is speed at a given point in time
16
Motion Velocity also describes Motion
17
Motion Velocity also describes Motion Describes speed with a directional component
18
Motion Velocity also describes Motion Describes speed with a directional component also calculated by distance/time
19
Motion Velocity also describes Motion Describes speed with a directional component also calculated by distance/time v=d/t
20
Motion Velocity also describes Motion Describes speed with a directional component also calculated by distance/time v=d/t SI unit of measurement=meters/second
21
Traveling 100 ml/hr southbound on I75 to Key West is an example of velocity.
22
Motion Acceleration is another term used to describe motion Describes the rate of change in velocity Calculated by change in velocity/time interval Δ v/ Δ t or v f – v i /t f – t i SI unit of measurement=meters/second/second m/s 2
23
Horses on a moving carousel is an example of motion with constant speed but changing acceleration
24
Motion Force affects Motion by altering speed and/or direction
25
Motion Friction is an example of a force that slows an object’s motion
26
Motion Consider applying the brakes while driving…
27
Motion ~it is the combination of brakes slowing vehicle's acceleration & friction between the tire & the road which slows/stops the vehicle’s motion
28
Motion Consider another force… Gravitational force value=9.8m/s 2
29
Motion Throw a ball up && the coming what happens back down? to the ball’s motion/speed going up
30
Motion Words, sketches, diagrams, data tables, graphs, & equations are used to describe & analyze motion
31
Motion For example: Motion can be graphed on a position-time graph aka distance-time graph
32
Motion For example: Motion can be graphed on a position-time graph aka distance-time graph Time is plotted on the x axis Position (distance) is plotted on the y axis
33
Motion
34
Position-time graphs can be used to find the speed (velocity) & position of an object
35
Motion The slope of a line of the position-time graph is equal to the average speed (average velocity) of the object’s motion.
36
Motion The slope of a line of the position-time graph is equal to the average speed (average velocity) of the object’s motion.
37
Motion The slope of the line can be calculated by Δ distance/ Δtime d f – d i /t f - t i
