  1. Physics ~ Motion Chapter 11

  2. Frame of Reference • Objects are moving. • How the objects move depends on your Frame of Reference • Comparison to another object • Did you know that when you are sitting still you are moving at 1800 km/hr? • How can you speed up? • …slow down?

  3. Stand Up… • Take a paper, pencil, and a small object with you • Find a square on the floor to stand where nothing is in front of you for at least 7 squares. • Then follow the directions as they are read aloud to you

  4. Put the object in your square to mark your start. • Move 7 squares forward. • Write down how far you have traveled and how far you are from your object. (Count how many squares.) • Move backward 4 squares. • Write down how far you have traveled and how far you are from your object. • Move forward 2 squares. • Write down how far you have traveled and how far you are from your object. • Move backward 5 more squares. • Write down how far you have traveled and how far you are from your object. • You should be back at the beginning.

  5. Distance vs. Displacement • Distance – how far an object has traveled • Displacement – how far an object is from its beginning point or its frame of reference

  6. Distance and Displacement in Football • It’s 1st and 10 on the 40 yard line. • This means the Home team needs 10 yards to get a first down… • The quarterback gets sacked on the 34 yard line. • Now it’s 2nd down on the 34 yard line. • If the running back moves the ball 10 yards do they get a first down? Why or why not?

  7. Displacement vs. Distance • Compare your distance traveled and your displacement from home right now. • Are they the same or different? • Compare your distance traveled and displacement from home when you return home tonight. • Are they the same or different?

  8. Figure it out…draw it out • If I left home this morning and • drove 3 blocks north, • turned east & drove 3 blocks, • then turned south & drove 3 blocks…

  9. 3 blocks East 3 blocks North 3 blocks South Start

  10. What distance did I travel? • What is my displacement? • You just drew vectors! • How could I have made the trip shorter? • What distance would I have traveled then? • …my displacement?
