Distance, Speed and Time speed (m/s) = distance (m) time (s) S = D T D D = S X T T = D S x T S
An athlete runs 200m in 20s. What is his speed? • speed = distance • time • speed = 200 m • 20 s • speed = 10 m/s
A bus travels 2000m between stops at a speed of 40m/s. Find the time taken to travel this distance. • speed = distance • time • 40 = 2000 • time • time = 2000 • 40 = 50s
3. It takes a cyclist 30s to go 850 m. What is her speed? speed = distance time speed = 850 m 30 s speed = 28.33 m/s
A walker travels at 3m/s for a distance of 50m. How long did it take him? • speed = distance • time • 3 = 50 • time • time = 50 • 3 = 16.67 s
VELOCITY AND SPEED This car is travelling at a velocity of 20m/s east This car is travelling at a speed of 20m/s
Distance and Displacement Distance is simply how far something has moved Man and dog have walked 3 metres from X x Displacement is ‘distance in a given direction’ Man and dog have walked 3 metres WEST from X x
Acceleration acceleration (m/s2) = change in velocity (m/s) time taken (s) Remember: the formula for acceleration and deceleration is the same
What does acceleration mean? The rate at which speed increases e.g. 5 m/s2 5m/s/s The speed is increasing by 5m/s every second 0s 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s 5m/s 10m/s 15m/s 20m/s 25m/s 30m/s
Questions on acceleration • A cyclist accelerated from rest to 10m/s in 5s. • Find the acceleration. • acceleration = change in velocity • time • = 10 – 0 = 10 • 5 5 • = 2 m/s2
A sprinter crosses the finishing line at a speed of 8m/s and comes to rest 10s later. Calculate the deceleration of the sprinter. • acceleration = change in velocity • time • = 8 – 0 = 8 • 10 10 • = 0.8 m/s2
A grand prix car increases its speed from 50m/s to 120m/s in 3s. What is the acceleration? • acceleration = change in velocity • time • = 120 – 50 = 70 • 3 3 • = 23.33 m/s2
4. A skier increases his speed from 6m/s to 10m/s in 2s. What is his acceleration? • acceleration = change in velocity • time • = 10 - 6 = 4 • 2 2 • = 2 m/s2
MASS 15 kg 50 kg Mass is the amount of matter inside an object. It is measured in kilograms (kg)
GRAVITATIONAL FIELD STRENGTH On Earth = 10N/kg g = 10
To find the WEIGHT of of an object you need to know the relationship between WEIGHT, MASS and GRAVITATIONAL FIELD STRENGTH weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg) = 1 x 10 = 10 N g = 10 1kg 1kg 10 N
Weight is the force of gravity on a body and is measured in NEWTONS (N). On Earth the force on a 1kg object is 10N (g = 10N/kg). On the moon the force on a 1kg object is 1.67N (g = 1.67N/kg) What is the weight of the Martian if it lands on the Earth or the Moon? 50kg
W M G To find the weight of the Martian you need to know:- weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg) W = M X G M = W G G = W M
Earth (g = 10) 50 kg weight = mass x g = 50 x 10 = 500 N
Moon ( g = 1.67) 50 kg Weight = mass x g = 50 x 1.67 = 83.5 N
