Motion ccelertion Prt : Constnt ccelertion ccelertion ccelertion ccelertion is the rte of chnge of elocity. = - o t = Δ Δt ccelertion = = - o t chnge of elocity elpsed time ccelertion is ector, lthough in one-dimensionl motion we only need the sign. Since only constnt ccelertion will be considered in this course, there is no need to differentite between erge nd instntneous ccelertion. Units for ccelertion ccelertion is the rte of chnge of. Units for ccelertion You cn derie the units by substituting the correct units into the right hnd side of these equtions. = Δ Δt m/s s = m/s C D displcement distnce speed elocity Ms. Leine

Which sttement below is true? 5 Your elocity chnges from 60 m/s to the right to 00 m/s to the right in 0 s; wht is your erge ccelertion? C D The horse's elocity doesn't chnge. The horse moes 3m eery second. The horse's elocity increses 3m eery second.

Wht ws its initil elocity? 6 n object ccelertes t rte of.5 m/s for 4 s until it reches elocity of 0 m/s. Wht ws its initil elocity? Grphing Motion t Constnt ccelertion In physics there is nother pproch in ddition to lgebric which is clled grphicl nlysis. The formul = 0 + t cn be interpreted by the grph. We just need to recll our memory from mth clsses where we lredy sw similr formul y = m + b. From these two formuls we cn some nlogies: y (dependent rible of ), 0 b (intersection with erticl is), t (independent rible), m ( slope of the grph- the rtio between rise nd run Δy/Δ). Ms. Leine 4
Motion t Constnt ccelertion elow we cn find the geometric eplntion to the ccelertion =Δ/Δt. If slope is equl to: m = Δy/Δ Motion t Constnt ccelertion The grph on the right hs slope of Δ/Δt, which is equl to ccelertion. Therefore, the slope of elocity s. time grph is equl to ccelertion. Then consider grph with elocity on the y-is nd time on the -is. Wht is the slope for the grph on the right? (slope) y =Δy/Δ (slope of elocity s. time) =Δ/Δt 7 The elocity s function of time is presented by the grph. Wht is the ccelertion? 8 The elocity s function of time is presented by the grph. Find the ccelertion. Motion t Constnt ccelertion The ccelertion grph s function of time cn be used to find the elocity of moing object. When the ccelertion is constnt the elocity is chnging by the sme mount ech second. This cn be shown on the grph s stright horizontl line. In order to find the chnge in elocity for certin limit of time we need to clculte the re under the ccelertion line tht is limited by the time interl. 9 The following grph shows ccelertion s function of time of moing object. Wht is the chnge in elocity during first 0 seconds? Ms. Leine 5
