1 Topic.1: Kinematics How do we analyze the motion of objects?

2 Characteristic Graphs The most common kinematics problems involve uniform acceleration from rest These have a characteristic shape for each of s-t, v-t, and a-t graphs

3 Displacement vs. time Displacement (m) Time (s)

4 Information from Graphs We can get information from a graph using one of three strategies: Read data directly from the graph Calculate the slope Calculate the area under the graph

5 Velocity vs. time Velocity (m/s) Time (s)

6 Acceleration vs. time Acceleration (m/s ) Time (s)

7 Graphical Integration If we go from s v a by finding slope, how do we go the opposite direction? Area! The area under the a-t graph gives v, the area under a v-t graph gives displacement s!

8 Acceleration vs. time Acceleration (m/s ) v u at A at Time (s)

9 Ex 1: Find the initial velocity of a car that takes 3.0 s to accelerate at 4.9m/s up to 4 m/s Variables: a=4.9m/s u=? v= 4m/s t= 3.0s v u u v at at u 4m 4.9 m 3s s s 7 m s

10 Displacement If we got velocity from an a-t graph, can we get displacement from a v-t graph?

11 Velocity vs. time Velocity (m/s) u s ut 1 at A 1 bh 1 t A lw ut at Time (s)

12 Ex 1: Find the displacement of a car that accelerates for.5s from a stop light at 3.5 m/s Variables: a=3.5m/s u= 0 s=? t=.5s s s 1 ut 3.5m s s 11m 1 at. s 5

13 Ex : Find your reaction time, given the ruler is falling at -9.8 m/s Variables: a=-9.8m/s u= 0 s= -0.11m+/-0.01 t=?s s t t ut 1 at s a ( 0.11) 9.8 t 0. 15s

16 How does gravity work? Do we disappear if we sail off the edge of the Earth?

17 Free Fallin

18 Gravitational Acceleration g How fast do things fall? First, do heavy objects fall faster than light objects? Try it!! If all free falling objects fall with the same acceleration, can we find this elusive g? Throw a golf ball, take a video Graph the variation of vertical velocity with time, find the slope!!

19 Gravitational Acceleration g How fast do things fall? First, do heavy objects fall faster than light objects? Try it!! If all free falling objects fall with the same acceleration, can we find this elusive g? Drop a ball from a height of 1.00 m time its fall, solve for g!! s 1 gt ut s 1 gt s g g m t? s

20 Ex 1: How long should a ball take to fall 1.00m? Variables: a=g u= 0 s= -1.00m t=? t s ut 1 at t 0. 45s 1.00m 9.8m s t s g

21 Showing your work t 1.00m 9.8m s Without the why you are powerless!

22 Ex : Find the position of a ball that is thrown up at 4 m/s, after 4.5s of flight Variables: a=g u=4m/s s=? t= 4.5s s s 1 at ut 1 4m 4.5s 9.8m 4. 5s s s 8. 8m s

23 Projectiles Any object in free fall

24 Yes, even you!

25

26 What do we know about free fall? Horizontal acceleration is zero (neglecting air resistance) Vertical acceleration is -9.8m/s (on Earth) The path is always a parabola We can solve each component independently, using t to connect them

27 Variables: Ex 1: A student runs off a 10m cliff at 8.5 m/s a) How far from the bottom does he land? a=-9.8m s - s=-10m u= 8.5 m/s t=? x=? x 1 u x u cos 8.5m s u y u sin 0 1 s u t 1 at x ut at y x 8.5m s s t y x 1m s a ( 10m) t 1. 43s 9.8m / s

28 b) With what velocity does he hit the water? x y u u m x cos 8. 5 s u u sin 0 y v y u y gt v y 9.8m / s1.43s 14m / s v v x v y v 16m / s tan 1 v v y x 59

57 Which one? A quadratic yields two roots. Sometimes the physics rules out the possibility of one of the roots eg. negative time, etc. In the first case, we had two solutions to the problem: one on the way up, one on the way down

63 Scalars vs. Vectors Scalars: have a magnitude but no direction: mass time distance speed Vectors: have magnitude and direction force momentum displacement velocity

64 Adding Vectors We always rearrange vectors to add them tip-to-tail. The resultant is the vector that reaches from the tail of the 1 st to the tip of the nd

65 Adding Vectors Ex: Draw a scale diagram for: 5 m North + 3 m South 4 N East + 3 N South 10 m North + 5 m Northeast
