  1. Motion: 8.2 • THURSDAY APRIL 17th • Cheetah clip (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  2. 8.2 Average Velocity • You will learn the difference between speed and velocity and how to use position-time graphs to calculate average velocity. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  3. Questions • What is speed? • What is velocity? • What is the difference between them? (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  4. The need for speed. • Speed ( ) is the distance an object travels during a given time interval divided by the time interval. • Speed is a scalar quantity. • The SI unit for speed is metres per second (m/s). See pages 362 - 363 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  5. Remember this slide from 8.1 • Scalar • Distance - d • SI unit: metres • Time – t • SI unit - s • Speed – • SI unit – m/s • Vector • Position - • SI unit: metres • Displacement – • SI unit – metres (m) ﺤ ∆d (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  6. What is velocity? • Velocity ( ) is the displacement of an object during a time interval divided by the time interval. • Velocity describes how fast an object’s position is changing. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  7. Velocity • Velocity is a vector quantity and must include direction. • The direction of the velocity is the same as the direction of the displacement. • The SI unit for velocity is metres per second (m/s). (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  8. Remember this slide from 8.1 • Scalar • Distance - d • SI unit: metres • Time – t • SI unit - s • Speed – • SI unit – m/s • Vector • Position - • SI unit: metres • Displacement – • SI unit – metres (m) • Velocity – • SI unit – m/s ﺤ ∆d (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  9. Same Speed, different Velocities • These two ski gondolas have the same speed but have different velocities. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  10. Question • But why do the two gondolas have different velocities? (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  11. Lets look at the definitions again. • Speed ( ) is the distance an object travels during a given time interval divided by the time interval. • Velocity ( )is the displacement of an object during a time interval divided by the time interval. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  12. Remember the definitions of distance and displacement! • Distance (d) is a scalar quantity that describes the length of a path between two points or locations. • Displacement describes the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  13. Here we see the difference (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  14. Therefore: • The two gondolas are travelling at the same speed. • But they are traveling in opposite directions • One of the two directions must be given a negative sign • Therefore, they have different velocities • Clip (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  15. Calculating the slope of a position-time graph • Dash and a Cheetah are seen in a race below (motion diagram). • Each is running at a constant velocity. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  16. During equal time intervals, the position of Dash changes more than the position of the Cheetah. • Since, Dash’s displacement for equal time intervals is greater than the Cheetahs • Dash is running faster than the Cheetah. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  17. Question • How can we calculate how fast Dash and the Cheetah are moving? (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  18. We need to know the displacement and the time interval. • The motion diagram can be placed on a position-time graph. • Which represents the motion of objects • We can determine the velocity of the objects from the graph (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  19. Does Dash or the Cheetah’s motion have the greater slope? • Which one is running faster? Dash Cheetah (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  20. Calculating the Slope of the Position-Time Graph • The slope of a graph is represented by rise/run. • This slope represents the change in the y-axis divided by the change in the x-axis. Dash Cheetah (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  21. Calculating the Slope of the Position-Time Graph • On a position-time graph the slope is the change in position (displacement) ( ) divided by the change in time ( ). • The steeper the slope the greater the change in displacement during the same time interval. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  22. Dash Cheetah (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  23. Lets calculate and compare the slopes of Dash and the Cheetah. Dash Cheetah • Slope = = 2.0 m/s foreword • Slope = = 4.0 m/s foreword (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  24. Average Velocity • Compare the two slopes: • Dash – 4.0 m/s • Sonic – 2.0 m/s • Is the slope related to the runners speed based on this information? (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  25. Lets find out. • Look at the units m/s • The slope shows on average how many metres Dash and the Cheetah moved in 1 second • Therefore, the slope of a position-time graph for an object is the object’s average velocity. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  26. Average Velocity • Average velocity is the rate of change in position for a time interval. • The symbol of average velocity is: • Average velocity is a vector and includes a direction. See pages 365 - 366 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  27. Question • Do you remember what type of slopes a position-time graph can contain? • Positive • Zero • Negative (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  28. Position-time graphs and average velocity On a position-time graph, if forward is given a positive direction: • A positive slope means that the object’s average velocity is forward. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  29. Position-time graphs and average velocity • On a position-time graph, if forward is given a positive direction: • Zero slope means the object’s average velocity is zero. Which means the object is stationary! (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  30. Position-time graphs and average velocity • On a position-time graph, if forward is given a positive direction: • A negative slope means that the object’s average velocity is backward. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  31. Review Positive Negative zero Returning to the origin at a uniform speed. Remaining stationary Moving away from the origin at a uniform speed (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  32. Note: • Since the slope of a position-time graph is the average velocity we can use this relationship to calculate the average velocity without analyzing a position-time graph. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  33. Calculating Average Velocity The relationship between average velocity, displacement, and time is given by: Use the above equation to answer the following questions. • What is the average velocity of a dog that takes 4.0 s to run forward 14 m? • A boat travels 280 m east in a time of 120 s. What is the boat’s average velocity? See page 368 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  35. Finishing off 8.2 • TUESDAY APRIL 22nd • Clip (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  36. Remember from last day • Average velocity is the rate of change in position for a time interval. • The symbol of average velocity is: • Average velocity is a vector and includes a direction. See pages 365 - 366 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  37. Remember • The relationship between average velocity, displacement, and time is given by: • So we can rearrange this equation to find displacement. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  38. Question • What is displacement? • Displacement describes the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  39. Calculating Displacement The relationship between displacement, average velocity, and time is given by: See page 369 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  40. Use the above equation to answer the following questions. • What is the displacement of a bicycle that travels 8.0 m/s [N] for 15 s? • A person, originally at the starting line, runs west at 6.5 m/s. What is the runner’s displacement after 12 s? (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  41. Finding time! • To find time, the equation can be rewritten again. • So, from • We can now write the above (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  42. Calculating Time The relationship between time, average velocity, and displacement is given by: See page 369 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  43. Use the above equation to answer the following questions. • How long would it take a cat walking north at 0.80 m/s to travel 12 m north? • A car is driving forward at 15 m/s. How long would it take this car to pass through an intersection that is 11 m long? 15 s 0.73 s (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  44. Converting between m/s and km/h • How would you convert velocity in km/h to m/s? • Change kilometres to metres: 1000m = 1 km or 1 km = 1000 m • Hours to seconds: 3600 s = 1 h or 1 h = 3600 s Speed zone limits are stated in kilometres per hour (km/h). (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  45. Converting between m/s and km/h • Multiply by 1000 and divide by 3600 or • Divide the speed in km/h by 3.6 to obtain the speed in m/s. See page 369 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  46. Example: • For example, convert 75 km/h to m/s. (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  47. Example • 55 km/h [W]? = 15 m/s [W] (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007

  48. Try the following unit conversion problems. • Convert 95 km/h to m/s. • A truck’s displacement is 45 km north after driving for 1.3 h. What was the truck’s average velocity in km/h and m/s? • What is the displacement of an airplane flying 480 km/h [E] during a 5.0 min time interval? 26 m/s 35 km/h [N], 9.6 m/s [N] 40 km [E] or 40, 000 m [E] See page 369 (c) McGraw Hill Ryerson 2007
