  1. Motion in One Dimension Kinematics

  2. Distance vs. Displacement • Distance – how far you’ve traveled Scalar quantity - 20 m • Displacement – shortest distance traveled from starting point to end point. Vector quantity – 20 m, 40o, N of W

  3. Instantaneous Position Where an object is located at one and only one time. • At 1.0 s, object is at 3.0 m • At 2.0 s, object is at 6.0 m

  4. Remember the example? Change the paces to meters (m). • Walk due west for 52 m, then walk 30.0o North of West for 42 m, and then walk due north for 25 m. • The total distance traveled was (52 + 42 + 25)m = 119 m The total displacement is 99 Paces, 28o, N of W

  5. Speed Speed is how fast an object is moving. Scalar quantity = 30 km/h

  6. Velocity Velocity is how fast an object is moving in a certain direction. Vector quantity = 30 km/h, 45o, S of E

  7. Direction of Velocity (+) Velocity is positive (+) if moving due east or due north. N E

  8. Direction of Velocity (-) • Velocity is negative (-) is moving due west or due south. W S

  9. Constant Velocity • Average velocity is the same for all time intervals.

  10. Instantaneous Velocity Speed and direction at one and only one time. At 1.0 s, the instantaneous velocity is 35 m/s. At 2.0 s, the instantaneous velocity is 55 m/s.

  11. Average Velocity I Change in displacement over a given time interval. Equation: V = ∆d = d2 – d1 ∆t t2 - t1 Unit of measurements: m/s, cm/s, ft/s, km/h, and mi/h

  12. Average Speed Total distance traveled over total time Equation: V = dt = d1 + d2 +.. tt t1 + t2 + ….. Units of Measurements: m/s, cm/s, ft/s, km/h, and mi/h

  13. Conversions • Kilo = 1000 1 Km = 1000 m • 1 mi. = 1609 km • 1 h = 3600 s • Change 20.0 m/s to Km/h 20.0 m x 1 Km x 3600 s = 72 km/h s 1000 m 1 h

  14. Example 1 • A person walks 13 km in 2.0 h. What is the person’s average velocity in km/h and m/s? V = ∆d = d2 – d1 = 13 km = 6.5 km/h ∆t t2 - t1 2.0 h 6.5 Km x 1000 m x 1h = 1.8 m/s h 1 Km 3600 s

  15. Example 2 A car traveled 2.0 mi. in 0.2 h, 5.0 mi in 0.6 h and 15.0 mi in 1.0 h. What was the average speed of the car? V = dt = d1 + d2 + d 3 tt t1 + t2 + t3 = 2.0 mi + 5.0 mi + 15.0 mi = 12 mi/h = 10 mi/h 0.2 h + 0.6 h + 1.0 h

  16. Example 3 A car traveled 2.0 h at a speed of 50 mi/h and 4.0 h at 75 mi/h. Calculate the average speed. V = (2.0 h x 50. mi/h) + (4.0 h x 75 mi/h) 2.0 h + 4.0 h V = 67 mi/h

  17. Example 4 • A toy train starts at 0 m and runs around the 1.0 m track in 30 s. train stops at the starting point. What was its average speed? V = 1.0 m/30 s = 0.03 m/s What was its average velocity? V = 0 m/s. It stopped at its starting point. The change in displacement is 0.

  18. Average Acceleration • Change in velocity over a period of time. a = ∆V = V2 – V1 ∆t t2 - t1 Units of measurements: m/s2, cm/s2, ft/s2 km/h2, and mi/h2

  19. Direction of Acceleration • Positive if the change in velocity is positive. ∆V = 40 m/s – 20 m/s = + 20 m/s Acceleration is increasing. • Negative if the change in velocity is negative. ∆V = 20 m/s – 40 m/s = -20 m/s Acceleration is decreasing. (decelerating)

  20. Acceleration Example An Indy-500 race car’s velocity increases from +4.0 m/s to +36 m/s over a 4.0 s period. What is its average acceleration? V 1 = +4.0 m/s V2 = +36.0 m/s ∆t = 4.0 s a = ∆V = +36.0 m/s – +4.0 m/s = 8.0 m/s2 ∆t 4.0 s
