  1. Chapter 2 Describing Motion: Kinematics in One Dimension

  2. Units of Chapter 2 • Reference Frames and Displacement • Average & Instantaneous Velocity • Acceleration • Motion at Constant Acceleration • Methods for Solving Problems • Freely Falling Objects • Variable Acceleration; Integral Calculus • Graphical Analysis

  3. 2-1 Reference Frames Any measurement of position, distance, or speed is made w/ respect to a reference frame. Ex: Someone walks down the aisle of a moving train, the person’s speed with respect to the train is a few miles per hour, at most. The person’s speed with respect to the ground is higher.

  4. Displacement vs. Distance Displacement (blue line) = how far the object is from its starting point, regardless of path. Distance traveled (dashed line) is measured along the actual path. Q: You make a roundtrip to the store. What is your displacement?

  5. Displacement (from point 1 to point 2) Displacement is written: Displacement is negative => <= Positive displacement

  6. Speed vs. Velocity Speed is how far an object travels in a given time interval: Velocity includes directional information:

  7. Speed vs. Velocity • Speed is a SCALAR • 60 miles/hour, 88 ft/sec, 27 meters/sec • Two quantities – number, and units • Velocity is a VECTOR • 60 mph North • 88 ft/sec East • 27 m/s @ azimuth of 173 degrees • Three quantities – number, units, & direction

  8. Example of Average Velocity Position of runner as a function of time is plotted as moving along the x axis of a coordinate system. During a 3.00-s time interval, the runner’s position changes from x1 = 50.0 m to x2 = 30.5 m, as shown. What was the runner’s average velocity?

  9. Example of Average Velocity During a 3.00-sec interval, runner’s position changes from x1 = 50.0 m to x2 = 30.5 m What was the runner’s average velocity? Vavg = (30.5-50.0) meters/3.00 sec = -6.5 m/s in the x direction. The answer must have value, units, & DIRECTION

  10. Example of Average Speed During a 3.00-s time interval, the runner’s position changes from x1 = 50.0 m to x2 = 30.5 m. What was the runner’s average speed? Savg = |30.5-50.0| meters/3.00 sec = 6.5 m/s The answer must have value & units

  11. 2-3 Instantaneous Speed Instantaneous speed is the average speed in the limit as the time interval becomes infinitesimally short. Ideally, a speedometer would measure instantaneous speed; in fact, it measures average speed, but over a very short time interval.

  12. 2-3 Instantaneous Velocity Instantaneous velocity is the average velocity in the limit as the time interval becomes infinitesimally short. Velocity is a vector; you must include direction!27 m/s west…

  13. 2-3 Instantaneous Velocity On a graph of a particle’s position vs. time, the instantaneous velocity is the tangent to the curve at any point.

  14. 2-3 Instantaneous Velocity Example 2-3: Given x as a function of t. A jet engine moves along an experimental track (the x axis) as shown. We will treat the engine as if it were a particle. Its position as a function of time is given by the equation x = At2 + B where A = 2.10 m/s2 and B = 2.80 m.

  15. 2-3 Instantaneous Velocity • A jet engine’s position as a function of time is x = At2 + B, where A = 2.10 m/s2 and B = 2.80 m. • Determine the displacement of the engine during the time interval from t1 = 3.00 s to t2 = 5.00 s. • Determine the average velocity during this time interval. • Determine the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity at t = 5.00 s.

  16. 2-3 Instantaneous Velocity • A jet engine’s position as a function of time is x = At2 + B, where A = 2.10 m/s2 and B = 2.80 m. • Determine the displacement of the engine during the time interval from t1 = 3.00 s to t2 = 5.00 s. • @ t = 3.00 s x1 = 21.7 • @ t = 5.00 s x2 = 55.3 • x2 – x1 = 33.6 meters in +x direction

  17. 2-3 Instantaneous Velocity A jet engine’s position as a function of time is x = At2 + B, where A = 2.10 m/s2 and B = 2.80 m. b) Determine the average velocity during this time interval. Vavg = 33.6 m/ 2.00 sec = 16.8 m/s in the + x direction

  18. 2-3 Instantaneous Velocity A jet engine’s position as a function of time is x = At2 + B, where A = 2.10 m/s2 and B = 2.80 m. (c) Determine the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity at t = 5.00 s |v| = dx/dt @ t = 5.00 seconds = 21.0 m/s

  19. 2-4 Acceleration Acceleration = the rate of change of velocity. Units: meters/sec/sec or m/s^2 or m/s2 or ft/s2 Since velocity is a vector, acceleration is ALSO a vector, so direction is crucial… A = 2.10 m/s2 in the +x direction

  20. Example of Acceleration • A car accelerates along a straight road from rest to 90 km/h in 5.0 s. • What is the magnitude of its average acceleration? • KEY WORDS: • “straight road” = assume constant acceleration • “from rest” = starts at 0 km/h

  21. Example of Acceleration A car accelerates along a straight road from rest to 90 km/h in 5.0 s What is the magnitude of its average acceleration? |a| = 90 km/h/5.0 sec = 18 km/h/sec along road better – convert to more reasonable units 90 km/hr = 90 x 103 m/hr x 1hr/3600 s = 25 m/s So |a| = 5.0 m/s2

  22. Acceleration Acceleration = the rate of change of velocity.

  23. Velocity & Acceleration • If the velocity of an object is zero, does it mean that the acceleration is zero? • (b) If the acceleration is zero, does it mean that the velocity is zero? Think of some examples.

  24. 2-4 Acceleration An automobile is moving to the right along a straight highway. Then the driver puts on the brakes. If the initial velocity (when the driver hits the brakes) is v1 = 15.0 m/s, and it takes 5.0 s to slow down to v2 = 5.0 m/s, what was the car’s average acceleration?

  25. 2-4 Acceleration An automobile is moving to the right along a straight highway. Then the driver puts on the brakes. If the initial velocity (when the driver hits the brakes) is v1 = 15.0 m/s, and it takes 5.0 s to slow down to v2 = 5.0 m/s, what was the car’s average acceleration?

  26. 2-4 Acceleration A semantic difference between negative acceleration and deceleration: “Negative” acceleration is acceleration in the negative direction (defined by coordinate system). “Deceleration” occurs when the acceleration is opposite in direction to the velocity.

  27. Instantaneous Acceleration The instantaneous acceleration is the average acceleration in the limit as the time interval becomes infinitesimally short.

  28. Example 2-7: Acceleration given x(t). A particle is moving in a straight line with its position is given by x = (2.10 m/s2)t2 + (2.80 m). Calculate (a) its average acceleration during the interval from t1 = 3.00 s to t2 = 5.00 s, & (b) its instantaneous acceleration as a function of time.

  29. Example 2-7: Acceleration given x(t). A particle is moving in a straight line with its position is given by x = (2.10 m/s2)t2 + (2.80 m).Calculate (a) its average acceleration during the interval from t1 = 3.00 s to t2 = 5.00 s V = dx/dt = (4.2 m/s) t V1 = 12.6 m/s V2 = 21 m/s Dv/Dt = 8.4 m/s/2.0 s = 4.2 m/s2

  30. Example 2-7: Acceleration given x(t). A particle is moving in a straight line with its position is given by x = (2.10 m/s2)t2 + (2.80 m).Calculate (a) its average acceleration during the interval from t1 = 3.00 s to t2 = 5.00 s, & (b) its instantaneous acceleration as a function of time.

  31. Analyzing Acceleration Graph shows Velocity as a function of time for two cars accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in a time of 10.0 sCompare (a) the average acceleration; (b) instantaneous acceleration; and (c) total distance traveled for the two cars.

  32. Analyzing Acceleration Velocity as a function of time for two cars accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in a time of 10.0 sCompare (a) the average acceleration; (b) instantaneous acceleration; and (c) total distance traveled for the two cars. Same final speed in time => Same average acceleration But Car A accelerates faster…

  33. 2-5 Motion at Constant Acceleration The average velocity of an object during a time interval t is The acceleration, assumed constant, is

  34. 2-5 Motion at Constant Acceleration In addition, as the velocity is increasing at a constant rate, we know that Combining these last three equations, we find:

  35. 2-5 Motion at Constant Acceleration We can also combine these equations so as to eliminate t: We now have all the equations we need to solve constant-acceleration problems.

  36. 2-6 Solving Problems • Read the whole problem and make sure you understand it. Then read it again. • What is happening? • At the start of the problem • At the end of the problem • Decide upon a coordinate system to capture whatever is moving or changing • Draw and label sketch(es) of the problem (possibly “before/after” views.)

  37. 2-6 Solving Problems • Write down all known (given) quantities, and then identify unknowns that are needed. • What are the units of the proper solution? What is a reasonable estimate of the solution (order of magnitude) • What physics applies here? Plan an approach to a solution.

  38. 2-6 Solving Problems • Which equations relate the known and unknown quantities? Are they valid in this situation? • Solve the problem algebraically first, if possible. Analyze the solution for units (dimensional analysis) • Test the solution (consider boundary value conditions, extrema, limits) • Calculate answer, and check against estimate.

  39. 2-6 Solving Problems Example: How long does it take a car to cross a 30.0-m-wide intersection after the light turns green, if the car accelerates from rest at a constant 2.00 m/s2?

  40. 2-6 Solving Problems Example: How long does it take a car to cross a 30.0-m-wide intersection after the light turns green, if the car accelerates from rest at a constant 2.00 m/s2? “How long” – asking for time, not distance! “from rest” – car’s speed initially is zero! We know: distance, initial velocity, & acceleration

  41. 2-6 Solving Problems Example: How long does it take a car to cross a 30.0-m-wide intersection after the light turns green, if the car accelerates from rest at a constant 2.00 m/s2?

  42. Example 2-11: Air bags. Suppose you want to design an air bag system that can protect the driver at a speed of 100 km/h (60 mph) if the car hits a brick wall. Estimate how fast the air bag must inflate to effectively protect the driver. How does the use of a seat belt help the driver?

  43. Example 2-12: Braking distances. Estimate the minimum stopping distance for a car. The problem is best dealt with in two parts, two separate time intervals. (1) The first time interval begins when the driver decides to hit the brakes, and ends when the foot touches the brake pedal. This is the “reaction time,” about 0.50 s, during which the speed is constant, so a = 0.

  44. Example 2-12: Braking distances. (2) The second time interval is the actual braking period when the vehicle slows down (a≠ 0) and comes to a stop. The total stopping distance depends on the reaction time of the driver, the initial speed of the car (the final speed is zero), and the acceleration of the car.

  45. Example 2-12: Braking distances. Calculate the total stopping distance for an initial velocity of 50 km/h (= 14 m/s ≈ 31 mi/h) Assume the acceleration of the car is -6.0 m/s2 The minus sign appears because the velocity is taken to be in the positive x direction and its magnitude is decreasing.

  46. Example 2-13: Two moving objects: Police and speeder A car speeding at 150 km/h passes a still police car which immediately takes off in hot pursuit. Using simple assumptions, such as that the speeder continues at constant speed, estimate how long it takes the police car to overtake the speeder. Then estimate the police car’s speed at that moment and decide if the assumptions were reasonable.

  47. 2-7 Freely Falling Objects Near the surface of the Earth, all objects experience approximately the same acceleration due to gravity. This is one of the most common examples of motion with constant acceleration.

  48. 2-7 Freely Falling Objects In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration, although this may be tricky to tell by testing in an environment where there is air resistance.

  49. 2-7 Freely Falling Objects The acceleration due to gravity at the Earth’s surface is approximately 9.80 m/s2. At a given location on the Earth and in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same constant acceleration.

  50. 2-7 Freely Falling Objects Example 2-14: Falling from a tower. Suppose that a ball is dropped (v0 = 0) from a tower 70.0 m high. How far will it have fallen after a time t1 = 1.00 s, t2 = 2.00 s, and t3 = 3.00 s? Ignore air resistance.
