Vector & Scalar Quantity • A vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. • A scalar quantity is a quantity that has magnitude, but no direction.
Which is a vector and which one is scalar ? • Velocity – 55 miles/hr driving east • Speed -55 miles/hr • Weight (gravitation pull) • Mass • Time • Volume • Force
Extracting Key PointsQuestions: • 1. When do we say that a body is in motion? • 2. When do we say that an object moves faster than another object?
So, where are you? Where you will meet is the position as described by a reference point. A reference point is an object that does not move. You and your friend agreed to meet for a movie tonight. You decided to get together at the corner of Orange and Denni. in 30 minutes. Click the object for a history of clocks
It’s about time! The time you will meet is measured with a clock. Time is defined as the interval between two events (when you make the decision to meet and when youmeet). Over the years, time has been measured with sundials, hour glasses, watches, and the most accurate clock, the atomic clock.
As you walk to meet your friend, you change your position with every step you take. Distance is how far you travel along a path while you change your position. SI Distance is measured in units. SI stands for the International System of Units called the metric system, a system based on the number ten. The basic unit of length is the meter (m). Do you want to know more about units of length and the metric system? Visit these links Metric System SI Metric Numbers How Many?
While you were walking to meet your friend, you were in motion. Changing position creates motion. You have gone a distance, and time has passed while you were changing your position.
Let’s talk displacement- Displacementis the change in position of an object. If you end up where you started, your displacement is zero. Displacement is described by both a length and a direction.Distance is described only by length. To say that you live 6 km from the amusement park isn’t very helpful unless you state in which direction (6 km south).
Distance vs. Displacement Vector – msmt with a size and direction Distance Total length of a path b/w two points. Displacement Length and direction of a straight line b/w starting and ending point.
Is Displacement a vector or scalar quantityIs Distance a vector or scalar quantity?
The better way to describe the difference between displacement and distance is here:1. Displacement is the directed line segment between initial and final position of a moving body.2. Distance is the total length of path traversed by the moving body irrespective of direction.
O.K. Just how fast are you moving? Speedis the distance traveled by an object during a given time interval (distance divided by time) . = Distance Speed = Time Speed = distance travelled per unit of time SI unit: m s
Average speed A car travels at 50 km h–1, slows down to 0 km h–1, and speeds up again to 60 km h–1. Its average speed over the whole journey overall distance travelled = total time of travel
Velocity When you know the speed and direction of an object’s motion, you know the velocity of the object. The wind is out of the southwest at 10 km/hr. For example, the meteorologist (one who studies the weather) gives the velocity of the wind. Velocity is the displacement of an object divided by time.
The formula for velocity is- Displacement Velocity = Time = In the formula, v stands for average velocity and dfor displacement. Time is t. d v = t
These are your equations Distance Speed = Time Displacement Velocity = Time
Velocity Speed with direction speed = 90 km h–1 Pilots are concerned about velocity (direction & speed). speed = 300 km h–1 direction = west
Graphing Motion • Slope = rise = distance = speed run time • Graph distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis
Learning Checkpoint • This graph shows several stages of motion: • Stage 1: 100 m in 10 s • Stage 2: 50 m in 10 s • Stage 3: 150 m in 20 s • Calculate the speed as indicated by each of the colors. • Calculate the average speed. • What is the total distance?
Solution Stage 1: S= d/ t 100 m/ 10 s= 10 m/s Stage 2: S= d/t 50 m/ 10 s= 5 m/s Stage 3: S= d/t 150 m/ 20 s= 7.5 m/s Ave Speed= Tot d/ Tot t 300 m/ 40 s= 7.5 m/s Distance = 300 meters
A cheetah can maintain a constant speed for short periods of time. Its speed is the same at all times during its motion. In 4 minutes, the cheetah traveled 8 km. 8 km speed = = 2 km/min 4 min Most objects do not move at constant speeds for very long. Dividing the total distance by the total time does not tell you the speed for every point of the journey. Instead it gives you the average speed. The rabbit had a burst of speed during the second minute. What is going on between the 3rd and 4th minutes? Distance 10 8 6 4 2 0 1 2 3 4 Time The rabbit is not moving. Time passes but no distance is covered. Distance Answer total distance 0 1 2 3 4 average speed = Time time interval
Let’s manipulate that formula- Suppose you were given the speed and the time. Could you determine the distance? v = 2 km/min t = 4 min d = 8 km Yes. d = v t This time you know the distance and the speed. Can you find out how long it took for the cheetah to go the distance? Yes. t = d / v
Instantaneous speed- Instantaneous speed is the rate of motion at any given instant. What does that mean? The picture at the right gives you the speed of the runner at the instant the picture was taken. 8.5 meters/second 6 767 76 6
The speedometer in your car gives you a reading of instantaneous speed. 8.5 meters/second 6 767 76 While the speedometer is showing the speed at any given moment 005 6 6
The speed of a ship is 50 km/hr. How far will it travel in 10 hours? (Something different here!) 500 km Distance = speed x time Check for your answer A friend lives 4 km away. Walking at 2 km/hr, how long will it take you to go this distance? (Be careful---it’s another version of the formula!) 2 hrs time = distance/speed Check for your answer
Let’s work a problem or two- An airplane is flying from Bridgeport, WV, to Washington, DC., a distance of 330 km. The trip takes 1.5 hours. What is the airplane’s velocity? The total displacement divided by total time is a velocity of 220 km/hr east. Click here for the answer. A girl walks 2 km west, she turns and walks 3 km east. What distance does she walk? What is her displacement? The distance she walked 5 km. Her displacement is 1 km east. Click here for the answer.
Problems Car trip: 100 km first 2hr 150 km next 3hr Avg Speed = total distance total time = 100 + 150 2 + 3 = 250 5 = 50km/hr Car trip: 80km/hr for first hr 40km/hr next 2hr Avg Speed = total distance total time First hr = 80km Next 2hr = 80km = 80 + 80 2 + 1 = 160 3 = 53km/hr
