Describing Motion acceleration §2.3–2.4
Board Work A car waits at a stop light for 5 seconds, smoothly accelerates to 15 m/s over 5 seconds, and then continues at 15 m/s. Describe the car’s motion using a velocity-time graph.
Dv average acceleration = Dt over the entire interval Dv instantaneous acceleration = lim Dt Dt 0 at one instant Acceleration Rate of changing velocity = dv/dt = d2x/dt2
Poll Question What is the SIunit for acceleration? • m. • s. • m·s. • m/s. • m2/s. • m/s2. • m2/s2.
Visualize Acceleration Young and Freedman, Fig. 2.8 Board Work: • Signs of v • Signs of a
Group Work In earlier car scenario: • What is the car’s acceleration during the different segments of its motion? • Describe the car’s motion using an acceleration-time graph.
Equations of Motion as functions of time
Find Position from Velocity • Generally: velocity is derivative of position wrt time dx/dt. • Conversely, position is the integral of velocity over time. v = dx/dt dx = vdt ∫dx = ∫vdt x=∫vdt + x0 What is this when v is constant?
distance units Integral of v-t graph area = (a m/s)(b s) = ab m speed (m/s) a b time (s)
Constant Acceleration • Instantaneous accel = average accel • a = Dv/Dt • Dv = velocity change over time Dt • Dv = aDt • v = v0 + Dv = v0 + aDt
Find Velocity from Acceleration • General case: acceleration is derivative of velocity wrt time dv/dt. • Conversely, velocity is the integral of acceleration over time. a = dv/dt dv = adt ∫dv = ∫adt v=∫adt + v0 What is this when a is constant?
Equations of Motion • What are velocity and position under conditions of constant acceleration?
Formulas from Constant x-Acceleration • Velocity change Dv = aDt • Velocity vt = v0 + Dv = v0 + aDt • Position change Dx = v0Dt + 1/2 a (Dt)2 • Position xt = x0 + v0Dt + 1/2 a (Dt)2
Another Form (constant a) • If you don’t know Dt and want v: x = x0 + v0Dt + 1/2a (Dt)2Dt = Dv/a x – x0 = v0 Dv/a + 1/2a (Dv/a)2 2a (x–x0) = 2v0 (v–v0) + (v–v0)2 2a (x–x0) = 2vv0 – 2v02 + v2 – 2vv0 + v02 2a (x–x0) = 2vv0 – 2vv0 + v2 + v02 – 2v02 2a (x–x0) = v2 – v02 v2 = v02 + 2a (x–x0) Do units check out?
Another Form (constant a) • If you don’t know a but know v, v0, and Dt: x = x0 + v0Dt + 1/2a (Dt)2a = Dv/Dt = (v–v0)/Dt x = x0 + v0 Dt + 1/2((v–v0)/Dt) (Dt)2 x – x0 = v0 Dt + 1/2v Dt – 1/2v0 Dt x – x0 = v0 Dt – 1/2v0 Dt + 1/2v Dt x – x0 = 1/2 (v0 + v)Dt Do units check out?
