Speed Definitions: Speed The rate at which something moves a given distance. Faster speeds = greater distances General formula for speed: Speed = distance / time Abbreviations commonly used: d = distance t = time v = speed v = d/t 2-1. Speed Velocity d 100miles miles v = = = 40 = 40mph t 2.5hours hour Distance miles ( ) 6hours miles d = v t = 30 = 180 hour Time d 100miles miles t = = = 2.5 = 2. 5hours v 40miles / hour miles / hour 1

2 2-1. Speed Average speed is the total distance traveled by an object divided by the time taken to travel that distance. Instantaneous speed is an object's speed at a given instant of time Vectors Magnitude of a quantity tells how large the quantity is. Scalar quantities have magnitude only. Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction Vectors Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction. 2

3 2-3. Acceleration Acceleration of an object is the rate of change of its velocity and is a vector quantity. For straight-line motion, average acceleration is the rate of change of speed: change in speed Accelerati on = time interval vf vi a = t 2-3. Acceleration 3 Types of Acceleartion Speeding Up Slowing Down Turning 2-4. Distance, Time and Acceleration V avg = (V 1 + V 2 ) 2 (20 mph + 60 mph ) = 40mph 2 d = v avg t d = ½at 2 30 mph 2 hr = 60 miles ½ 10 m/s/s 5 2 = 125 m 3

4 2-5. Free Fall The acceleration of gravity (g) for objects in free fall at the earth's surface is 9.8 m/s 2. Galileo found that all things fall at the same rate Free Fall The rate of falling increases by 9.8 m/s every second. Height = ½ gt 2 For example: ½ (9.8 )1 2 = 4.9 m ½(9.8)2 2 = 19.6 m ½ (9.8)3 2 = 44.1 m ½ (9.8)4 2 = 78.4 m 2-5. Free Fall A ball thrown horizontally will fall at the same rate as a ball dropped directly. 4

5 2-5. Free Fall A ball thrown into the air will slow down, stop, and then begin to fall with the acceleration due to gravity. When it passes the thrower, it will be traveling at the same rate at which it was thrown Free Fall An object thrown upward at an angle to the ground follows a curved path called a parabola Air Resistance In air A stone falls faster than a feather Air resistance affects stone less In a vacuum A stone and a feather will fall at the same speed. 5

6 2-6. Air Resistance Free Fall A person in free fall reaches a terminal velocity of around 54 m/s With a parachute, terminal velocity is only 6.3 m/s Allows a safe landing 2-6. Air Resistance Ideal angle for a projectile In a vacuum, maximum distance is at an angle of 45 o With air resistance (real world), angle is less Baseball will go furthest hit at an angle of around 40 o 2-7. First Law of Motion The first law of motion states: If no net force acts on it, an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant velocity. 6

7 Foucault Pendulum Inertia keeps a pendulum swinging in the same direction regardless of the motion of the earth. This can be used to measure the motion of the earth. As the Foucault Pendulum swings it appears to be rotating, but it is the earth that is rotating under it. To the right is the Foucault Pendulum at the Pantheon in Paris, France. Foucault Pendulum Other Web sites that illustrate the Foucault Pendulum. pendulum.html page7.htm KkM 2-8. Mass Inertia is the apparent resistance an object offers to any change in its state of rest or motion. 7

8 2-9. Second Law of Motion Newton's second law of motion states: The net force on an object equals the product of the mass and the acceleration of the object. The direction of the force is the same as that of the acceleration. F = Ma 2-9. Second Law of Motion A force is any influence that can cause an object to be accelerated. The pound (lb) is the unit of force in the British system of measurement: 1 lb = 4.45 N (1 N = lb) 2 1newton = 1 N = 1(kg)(m/s ) Mass and Weight Weight Definition: The force with which an object is attracted by the earth s gravitational pull Example: A person weighing 160 lbs is being pulled towards the earth with a force of 160 lbs (712 N). Near the earth s surface, weight and mass are essentially the same Weight = (mass)(acceleration of w = mg gravity) 8

9 2-11. Third Law of Motion The third law of motion states: When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object Third Law of Motion Examples of the 3 rd Law Circular Motion Centripetal force is the inward force exerted on an object to keep it moving in a curved path. Centrifugal force is the outward force exerted on the object that makes it want to fly off into space. 9
