1-D Motion • Displacement, Position, and Distance • Velocity vs. Speed • Frame of Reference
Frame of Reference x=975 ft. x=0 x=1000 ft. Where is the grizzly?
Position vs. Displacement Reference point or origin x=975 ft. x=0 x=1000 ft. positions Position depends upon your frame of reference.
Position vs. Displacement Reference point or origin x=975 ft. x=475 ft. x=500 ft. x=0 x=1000 ft. positions If we change our frame of reference, Then our positions change.
Position vs. Displacement x=975 ft. x=0 x=1000 ft. 25 ft. Displacement is the difference in positions.
Position vs. Displacement Reference point or origin x=975 ft. x=475 ft. x=0 x=1000 ft. x=500 ft. 25 ft. If we change our frame of reference, the displacement stays the same.
Displacement • Displacement is change in position. • Displacement can be positive or negative.
Velocity • Average velocity is displacement in a given time.
Finding displacement from velocity and time. • The high-speed train travels from Paris to Lyons at an average velocity of +227 km/h. The trip takes 2.00 h. How far is Lyons from Paris?
Finding displacement from velocity and time. Paris 227 km/h Lyons Dt=2h Unknown Dx
