9 NOTES...LIVE AND IN COLOR!!!

10 I would suggest you take notes like this: Motion: Speed: Measure of how fast something is moving Speed = Distance Time Speed is a rate: something divided by time SI units for Speed: (m/s) Instantaneous Speed vs Average Speed Instantaneous Speed speed at any given moment of time Average Speed total distance covered over a time interval Speed is scalar (magnitude but no direction) Velocity is a vector (magnitude and direction) Speed: 1 Scalar Magnitude only Velocity: 1 Vector Magnitude & Direction Distance: How far you travel. Motion: Displacement: How far you are from where you began (your POSITION). SPEED Example: Given: S = 12 m / s t = 10. s Find: d =??? t x S avg = d x t t St = d a = Δ v Δt Change in velocity Change in time Gravity is an acceleration Gravity = 9.8 m / s 2 d = St d = (12 m / s)(10. s) = 120 m Acceleration: Units: m s 2 Ways to Accelerate: Speed up Slow down Change direction 2 Savg = d t Savg = average speed t = time d = distance 2 vavg = vavg = average velocity t = time d t d = DISPLACEMENT ACCELERATION Example: If my car accelerates from 25 m / s to 30 m / s in 2.0 seconds, what is its acceleration? Δv a = = Δt UNITS: v 2 v 1 t 2 t 1 m / s s == = m s 30 m / s 25 m / s 2.0 s 0.0 s x x 1 s == m s 2 = 2.5 m / s s a = 2.5 m / s2

12 Measure of how fast something is moving

13 Measure of how fast something is moving Speed = Distance Time

14 Measure of how fast something is moving Speed = Distance Time Speed is a rate: something divided by time

15 Measure of how fast something is moving Speed = Distance Time Speed is a rate: something divided by time SI units for Speed: (m/s)

16

17 Instantaneous Speed speed at any given moment of time

18 Instantaneous Speed speed at any given moment of time Average Speed total distance covered over a time interval

19 Instantaneous Speed speed at any given moment of time Average Speed total distance covered over a time interval

20 Instantaneous Speed speed at any given moment of time Average Speed total distance covered over a time interval Speed is scalar (magnitude but no direction)

21 Instantaneous Speed speed at any given moment of time Average Speed total distance covered over a time interval Speed is scalar (magnitude but no direction) Velocity is a vector (magnitude and direction)

22 Who says direction Who says direction doesn't matter? doesn't matter? 1 m / s 1 m / s OR

23 Speed: 1) Scalar Magnitude only 2) S avg = S avg = t = time d t d = distance average speed Velocity: 1 Vector Magnitude & Direction 2 v avg = v avg = t = time d t average velocity d = DISPLACEMENT

24 What's the Difference??? Distance: How far you travel. Displacement: How far you are from where you began your POSITION.

25 What distance did I travel? Distance or Displacement?

49 Gravity is constant on Earth. It causes the same rate of acceleration for ALL falling objects.

50 DEMO TIME: If I drop these at the same time, the constant acceleration of gravity implies they should hit the ground at the same time. Will they???
