2 Review Significant Digits 1D Vector Addition BUT First. Diagnostic QuizTime

3 Rules for Significant DigitsRule #1 All non zero digits are ALWAYS significant How many significant digits are in the following numbers? Significant Figures 5 Significant Digits 4 Significant Figures

4 Rule #2 All zeros between significant digits are ALWAYS significant How many significant digits are in the following numbers? Significant Figures Significant Digits 4 Significant Figures

5 Rule #3 All FINAL zeros to the right of the decimal ARE significant How many significant digits are in the following numbers? Significant Figures 5 Significant Digits 7 Significant Figures

6 Rule #4 All zeros that act as place holders are NOT significant Another way to say this is: zeros are only significant if they are between significant digits OR are the very final thing at the end of a decimal

7 For example How many significant digits are in the following numbers? x Significant Digit 3 Significant Digits 6 Significant Digits 2 Significant Digits 1 Significant Digit

8 Rule #5 All counting numbers and constants have an infinite number of significant digits For example: 1 hour = 60 minutes 12 inches = 1 foot 24 hours = 1 day

9 How many significant digits are in the following numbers? x Significant Digits 6 Significant Digits 2 Significant Digits 3 Significant Digits 4 Significant Digits 1 Significant Digit 4 Significant Digits

10 When adding or subtracting Note accuracy of measurements (nearest.1?.01?.001?) Answer can be no more accurate than the LEAST accurate number used to calculate it.

11 For Example: 5.50 grams grams grams

12 OR ml ml ml --> 2.4 ml

13 When multiplying or dividing You must COUNT significant figures The answer can have only AS MANY significant figures as the LEAST of the numbers used to get it

14 Example g / 5.0 ml answer: 1.0 g/ml Did you have to count sig figs? YES!

15 Here s a tougher one C/s x 60 s/min x 60 min/hr = answer: C/hr --> C/hr OR is it C/hr Note: standard conversion factors never limit significant figures-- instruments and equipment do.

17 Diagnostic Quiz Question A B C D

18 VECTOR ADDITION

19 Recall: Vectors Vectors Quantities have both magnitude and direction It is represented by an arrow. The length of the vector represents the magnitude and the arrow indicates the direction of the vector.

20 Vectors Every Vector has two parts. A Head (Tip) and a Tail. Tail Head(Tip)

21 Vectors One Dimensional Vectors These are vectors that indicate direction in either the x or y direction, but not both. Two Dimensional Vectors These vectors have both x and y components in its direction.

22 Vectors One dimensional Vectors can use a + or sign to show direction m/s a - 45 m b m/s 2 i + 60 N h

23 Vectors One dimensional directions can be: Up, Down, Left, Right OR Cardinal Directions Navigator/Compass North, South, East, West Cartesian Direction q

24 Picking an Angle for 2-Dimensional Vectors 1. Pick the angle from the tail of the Vector. (starting point) 2. Find a Definite Direction w.r.t. the Vector (N, S, E, W). 3. Write your angle w.r.t. the Definite Direction. Directions are to be expressed as follows: [30.0 o S of E] The expected format is below. v = 25.0 m/s [30.0 o S of E]

25 Determine the direction of the vector. Determine angle from the tail of the vector from either N or E Answer: [42 o N of E] OR [48 o E of N]

26 Determine the direction of the following vectors: A) B)

27 Practice: Sketch the following vectors. Include the magnitude and direction (if necessary) on the sketch. A)25 km [N] B) 3m/s [Up]

28 Practice: Sketch the following vectors. Include the magnitude and direction (if necessary) on the sketch. C) 12 N [25 o E of N] D) 12 N [45 o S of W]

29 Scalar and Vector Quantities Some physical quantities, such as time, distance, speed, temperature, mass, density, electric charge, etc. can be by a single number with a unit. These are scalar quantities. However, there are many other important quantities have a direction associated with them and cannot be described by a single number. These are vector quantities.

30 Scalar and Vector Quantities For example, speed and velocity are kinematic quantities that have distinctly different definitions. Speed (v), being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance (d) (a scalar quantity). The average speed is v Speed is ignorant of direction. total distance total time v d t

31 On the other hand, velocity quantity; it is direction-aware. v is a vector Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio. displacement velocity total time v d t

32 In this calculation we look from the initial starting point to the FINAL position to determine the displacement. In velocity calculations we are not concerned about the journey, but only in how to we get from where we start to the final destination.

33 Consider the motion described below: A physics teacher walks 4 meters East, 2 meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2 meters North. Even though the physics teacher has walked a total distance of meters, her displacement is meters. During the course of her motion, she has "covered 12 meters of ground" (distance = 12 m). Yet when she is finished walking, she is not "out of place" - i.e., there is no displacement for her motion (displacement = 0 m). Displacement, being a vector quantity, must give attention to direction.

34 If this motion took 45 seconds to complete calculate: A) Average Speed B) Average Velocity

35 Lets go back to the diagnostic quiz 2. Which of the following quantities is a scalar quantity? A) displacement B) acceleration C)distance D) velocity

36 Use the diagram to determine the resulting displacement and the distance traveled by the skier during these three minutes. The skier covers a: displacement of 140 m, rightward distance of (180 m m m)= 420 m

37 1. What is the average: A) speed B) velocity 2. What was her fastest speed? 3. What was her fastest velocity?

38 4. Draw the vector diagram for this situation. Include the resultant vector for displacement. Notice that the SIZE of the arrow conveys MAGNITUDE and the way it was drawn conveys DIRECTION.

39 Lets go back to the diagnostic quiz Question # 4 Motion in Two Directions A car travels at 90.0 km/h [W] for 20.0 min and then travels at 60.0 km/h [E] for 10.0 min. 4. Based on the information in Motion in Two Directions, the average velocity of the car is A) 300 km/h [W] C) 75.0 km/h [W] B) 80.0 km/h [W] D) 40.0 km/h [W]

40 Addition of 2-Dimensional Vectors Addition of 2-Dimensional Vectors requires other methods. 1. Graphical Method 2. Mathematical or Triangle Method 3. Component Method

41 Properties of Vectors The addition of vectors yields a RESULTANT VECTOR R A B R Order of addition does not matter!

42 Vectors that are Perpendicular to each other are INDEPENDENT of each other. Ex. Boat traveling perpendicular to the current. Ex. Projectile thrown in the air.

43 Graphical Addition of Vectors R = A + B Adding vectors Graphically has certain advantages and disadvantages.

44 Graphical Addition of Vectors R = A + B Advantages 1. You can add as many vectors as you want 2. Not a mathematical method Disadvantages 1. Need a Ruler and a Protractor 2. Not the most accurate method Not a mathematical method

45 Vector Addition: (Non-collinear vectors) Mathematical or Triangle Method 1. Use a Vector Diagram to make your triangle Rough sketch. Not drawn to scale. 2. See what kind of Triangle you have Right Triangle: Use right angle trigonometry and the Pythagorean Theorem Physics 3214 Not Right Triangle: Use component method. Post secondary

46 Mathematical or Triangle Method When 2 vectors are perpendicular, use the Pythagorean theorem. RESULTANT Finish A man walks 95 km, East then 55 km, north. Calculate his RESULTANT DISPLACEMENT. Horizontal Component 95 km [E] 55 km, [N] Vertical Component c a b c a b c Resultant c km 2 2 Start The LEGS of the triangle are called the COMPONENTS

47 BUT what about the direction? DISPLACEMENT was asked for and since it is a VECTOR we should include a DIRECTION on our final answer. N of E NOTE: When drawing a right triangle that conveys some type of motion, you MUST draw your components Tip TO Tail.

48 BUT..what about the VALUE of the angle??? Just putting North of East on the answer is NOT specific enough for the direction. We MUST find the VALUE of the angle km 55 km, N q N of E 95 km,e So the COMPLETE final answer is :

53 What if you are missing a V.C =? component? Suppose a person walked 65 m, 25 degrees East of North. What were his horizontal and vertical components? H.C. =? m The goal: ALWAYS MAKE A RIGHT TRIANGLE! To solve for components, we often use the trig functions since and cosine. adjacent side opposite side cosineq sineq hypotenuse hypotenuse adj hyp cosq opp hyp sin q adj V. C. 65cos m, N opp H.

77 Accelerated motion Motion with changing velocity Examples? Accelerated motion occurs when either the speed is changing speeding up or slowing down Direction is changing Curved motion

78 Equations for accelerated motion Formula Sheet??

79 Examples 1. A cyclist can accelerate from 10. km/h to 30. km/h in 3.5s. Find his acceleration.

85 Free Falling Objects Questions

86

87 What is projectile motion? Anything that is thrown that has some horizontal motion. Jumping on a bike, skis, snowboards, skidoos, skateboards, wakeboards, horses, etc. Running off a diving board. Arrows, or bullets that are shot. Throwing footballs or basketballs, or kicking a soccer ball.

88 A projectile is any object which, once projected, continues its motion by its own inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity.

89 Have you ever used a hose to project the water at a maximum horizontal distance? What did you do to get that maximum distance? What is the best angle at which a projectile can be launched to achieve the maximum range?

90 Why study projectile motion? It is important to study this if you want objects to land in certain spots.

93 Bad Physics

94 What describes the path of a projectile? Parabola (part or whole) In 3204 projectile motion is limited to negligible air resistance ctile-motion

95 Types of Projectile Motion Horizontal motion moving off a cliff (No vertical motion initially)

96 Types of Projectile Motion Projected at an angle above the horizontal and lands with a net vertical displacement of zero.

97 Types of Projectile Motion Projected at an angle and lands at a point above.

98

99 Projected at an angle (above or below the horizontal) and lands below the launch position and at some horizontal distance (range).

100 Projectile motion problems usually require resolving velocity vectors into its components. Horizontal Motion is uniform motion. (x-direction) no acceleration Vertical Motion is freefall. (y-direction) uniform acceleration (a = -9.8 m/s 2 ) Horizontal Distance is defined as the range. Time is the same in both the x and y direction.

101 Truck and ball

102 Equations for Projectile Motion R Horizontal Motion d (x-direction) Uniform Motion x Range x v t x v t Vertical Motion (y-direction) Accelerated Motion 1 2 d v t at y 1y 2 ad v v y 2 y 1 y d a y v v v 2y 1y t v 2y 1 2 y t

103 Note: The signs in the equations and quadratic formula are essential. Downwards will always be negative (e.g., negative displacement, negative velocities when an object is thrown downwards). You will not be expected to find the launch angle (other than zero) of a projectile.

104 You will be expected to determine the following: range final velocity initial velocity max height, and v X and v y at any point. time of flight Also, either using the quadratic formula or a multi-step process (e.g., finding final velocity first, then time) to solve these problems is acceptable.
