Physics 31 Lecture 5: Motion in One Dimension With Changing Velocity
x(t) from v(t) v(t) t tend What does x(t) look like?
v(t) = constant=10m/s1. How far would the object travel in one second?2. How far in two seconds?
Slope is v = constant x(t) t
Acceleration • Acceleration is: • The rate of change of velocity • The slope of a velocity-versus-time graph Slide 2-20
Checking Understanding These four motion diagrams show the motion of a particle along the x-axis. Rank these motion diagrams by the magnitude of the acceleration. There may be ties. Slide 2-21
Checking Understanding These four motion diagrams show the motion of a particle along the x-axis. Which motion diagrams correspond to a positive acceleration? Which motion diagrams correspond to a negative acceleration? Slide 2-22
Checking Understanding These six motion diagrams show the motion of a particle along the x-axis. Rank the accelerations corresponding to these motion diagrams, from most positive to most negative. There may be ties. Slide 2-23
x(t) from v(t) x(t) is the area under the v(t) vs t curve For constant a
Quiz, question 1 Here is a motion diagram of a car moving along a straight stretch of road: Which of the following velocity-versus-time graphs matches this motion diagram? A. B. C. D. Slide 2-13
Question 2 A graph of position versus time for a basketball player moving down the court appears like so: Which of the following velocity graphs matches the above position graph? A. B. C. D. Slide 2-15
Question 3 • A car is moving with a constant velocity in the positive x-direction along a straight road. The magnitude of the velocity is v=12 m/s. Ten seconds later, it crashes into a wall and stops very suddenly. • A) sketch v(t) versus t for the first 15 seconds. • B) sketch x(t) versus t for the first 15 seconds.
