  1. Physics 2053C – Fall 2001 Discussion of Chapter 2 Examples of 1-D Motion & Free Fall Dr. Larry Dennis, FSU Department of Physics

  2. Motion with Constant Acceleration x = x0 + v0 t + ½ a t2 v = v0 + a t v2 = v02 + 2 a (x – x0) x0 is the initial position v0 is the initial velocity

  3. Sample Problem • How fast is it moving at the end of 5 seconds? • How far has it gone in the first 5 seconds? • What is it’s average speed for the first 5 seconds? • How far does it go between 5 and 10 seconds? • What is it’s average velocity over 10 seconds? A police car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for 5 seconds and then continues moving with constant speed.

  4. General Equations A police car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for 5 seconds and then continues moving with constant speed. X = Xo + Vo t + ½ a t2 X = 0 + 0 t + 3/2 t2 X = 3/2 t2 V = Vo + a t V = 3 t xo = 0 m vo = 0 m/s a = 3 m/s2 for t  5 s

  5. Part 1 A police car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for 5 seconds and then continues moving with constant speed. How fast is it moving at the end of 5 seconds? V = Vo + a t V = 3 t V = 3 m/s2 * 5 s = 15 m/s

  6. Part 2 A police car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for 5 seconds and then continues moving with constant speed. How far has it gone in the first 5 seconds? X = Xo + Vo t + ½ a t2 X = ½ 3 t2 = 3/2 t2 X = 1.5 m/s2 * 52 s2 = 37.5 m

  7. Part 3 A police car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for 5 seconds and then continues moving with constant speed. What is it’s average speed for the first 5 seconds? Vave = (x2 – x1) / (t2 – t1) Vave = (37.5 – 0)m / (5 – 0)s = 7.25 m/s = 7.3 m/s

  8. Part 4 A police car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for 5 seconds and then continues moving with constant speed. How far does it go between 5 and 10 seconds? X = Xo + Vo t + ½ a t2 X = 0 + (15 m/s) t + ½ * 0 * t2 X = 15 m/s * 5 s = 75 m

  9. Part 5 A police car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for 5 seconds and then continues moving with constant speed. What is his average velocity over 10 seconds? Vave = (x2 – x1) / (t2 – t1) X2 = distance traveled in first 5 seconds + distance traveled in second 5 seconds. = 37.5 m + 75 m = 112.5 m Vave = (112.5 – 0)m / (10 – 0)s = 11.3 m/s

  10. Free Fall • Acceleration due to gravity (abbreviated as “g”) • downward • constant • 9.8 m/s2 (we often approximate this at 10 m/s2) • X = Xo + Vo t + ½ a t2 • Need to be careful about directions: • Either up or down can be chosen to be positive • If up is positive, the acceleration is negative. • If down is positive, the acceleration is positive.

  11. Free Fall - Sample Problem A baseball is thrown upward at 40 m/s. • How high is at 2 s? • How fast is it moving at 2 s? • When does it reach it’s maximum height? • How high does it go? • When does it come back to it’s starting point? • How fast is it going when it reaches it’s starting point.

  12. x(m) t(s) Free Fall – General Solution A baseball is thrown upward at 40 m/s. xo = 0 m vo = 40 m/s a = -10 m/s2 X = Xo + Vo t + ½ a t2 X = 0 + 40 t - 5 t2 X = 40 t – 5 t2 V = Vo + a t V = 40 – 10 t

  13. Free Fall – Part 1 A baseball is thrown upward at 40 m/s. • How high is at 2 s? X = 40 t – 5 t2 X = 40 m/s * 2 - 5 m/s2 * 22 s2 X = 80 m – 20 m = 60 m

  14. Free Fall – Part 2 A baseball is thrown upward at 40 m/s. • How fast is it moving at 2 s? V = Vo + a t V = 40 – 10 t V = 40 m/s – 10 m/s2 * 2 s V = 40 m/s – 20 m/s = 20 m/s

  15. Free Fall – Part 3 A baseball is thrown upward at 40 m/s. • When does it reach it’s maximum height? It reaches it’s maximum height when V = 0. V = Vo + a t V = 40 – 10 t 0 = 40 – 10 t  10 t = 40  t = (40 m/s) / (10 m/s2 ) = 4 s.

  16. Free Fall – Part 4 A baseball is thrown upward at 40 m/s. • How high does it go? Calculate it’s position at t = 4 s. X = Xo + Vo t + ½ a t2 X = 0 + 40 t - 5 t2 X = 40 t – 5 t2 X = 40 m/s * 4 s – 5 m/s2 * 42 s2 X = 160 m – 80 m = 80 m

  17. Free Fall – Part 5 A baseball is thrown upward at 40 m/s. • When does it come back to it’s starting point? Find the times when X = 0. X = Xo + Vo t + ½ a t2 X = 40 t – 5 t2 0 = ( 40 – 5 t ) t t = 0 or 0 = ( 40 – 5 t )  40 = 5 t  t = 8 s. When an object is thrown upward and lands at the same height it takes just as long to go up as is does to come down.

  18. Free Fall – Part 6 A baseball is thrown upward at 40 m/s. • How fast is it going when it reaches it’s starting point. Find the velocity at t = 8 s. V = Vo + a t X = 40 – 10 t X = ( 40 m/s – 10 ms/s2 * 8 s) X = 40 m/s – 80 m/s = - 40 m/s When an object is thrown upward and lands at the same height it’s speed when it reaches the bottom is the same as when it was thrown?
