Do Now! Can you put the syllabus and Definition list in your folders for our new topic Topic 2: Mechanics
2
A reminder
3
Average speed = distance travelled time taken S t d x
4
Let’s Measure some speeds Evening all!
5
Distance against time graphs distance time
6
No movement? distance time
7
No movement distance time
8
Constant speed? distance time
9
Constant speed distance time
10
Constant speed distance time The gradient of this graph gives the speed
11
Constant speed distance time How would the graph look different for a faster constant speed?
12
Constant speed distance time fast
13
Constant speed distance time fast How would the graph look different for a slower constant speed?
14
Constant speed distance time fast slow
15
Getting faster? (accelerating) distance time
16
Getting faster (accelerating) distance time
17
Examples distance time
18
A car accelerating from stop and then hitting a wall distance time
19
A car accelerating from stop and then hitting a wall distance time
20
Speed against time graphs speed time
21
No movement? speed time
22
No movement speed time
23
Constant speed? speed time
24
Constant speed speed time
25
Constant speed speed time How would the graph look different for a faster constant speed?
26
Constant speed speed time fast
27
Constant speed speed time fast How would the graph look different for a slower constant speed?
28
Constant speed speed time fast slow
29
Getting faster? (accelerating) speed time
30
Getting faster? (accelerating) speed time Constant acceleration
31
Getting faster? (accelerating) speed time The gradient of this graph gives the acceleration
32
Getting faster? (accelerating) speed time a = v – u t (v= final speed, u = initial speed) v u The gradient of this graph gives the acceleration
33
Getting faster? (accelerating) speed time The area under the graph gives the distance travelled
34
Example: speed time
35
A dog falling from a tall building (no air resistance) speed time
36
A dog falling from a tall building (no air resistance) speed time
37
A dog falling from a tall building (no air resistance) speed time Area = height of building
38
Be careful! distance time speed time
39
No movement distance time speed time
40
Constant speed distance time speed time Area = distance travelled
41
Constant acceleration distance time speed time Area = distance travelled Gradient = acceleration a = (v-u)/t
42
Now let’s try some questions! Jack Yes!
