Motion- • Chapter 1 pp. 12-29
Speed- • a measure of how fast something is moving. • (rate of change of distance) • Equation- Speed = distance time
Units for speed- • mi/h (mph) • km/h or • m/s • ( / is read per and means divided by) Use this to remember the equation!
1.) What is the speed of a car that has gone 200 km in 4 hrs.?
200km = 50 km/hr4 hr Answer-
2.) What is the time it took for a car traveling 65 mph to go 800 mi.?
Answer- 800mi = 65 mph t
Acceleration- the rate of change in velocity • Acceleration = change of velocity time interval
Units for Acceleration- • km/hr2 Reads kilometers per hour per hour Each hour the speed changes so many kilometers per hour • m/s2 Reads meters per second per second Each second the speed changes so many meters per second • km/h/s Reads kilometers per hour per second Each second the speed changes so many kilometers per hour
3.) A car can go from 0 km/h to 90 km/h in 10 s. What is its acceleration?
Answer- 90 km/h – 0 km/h = 9 km/h/s 10 s These units are the hardest to understand! 4.) What do these units mean? This answer means that each second the car is speeding up 9 km/h
Free Fall (Vertical Velocity)- • an object falling free of all restraints • v = gt • v- velocity • g- acceleration of gravity • 9.8 m/s2 on earth • during each second of fall the object gains 9.8 m/s in velocity • t- time
6.) A person jumps out of an airplane and has been falling for 3 sec., how fast are they going? • v = gt = 9.8 (3) = 29.4 m/s
Calculating Vertical Distance- • Freely falling objects only • Equation- d = ½ gt2 • d = distance traveled • Units- meters • g = acceleration due to gravity • Units- m/s2 • t = time of fall • Units- seconds
7.) A person jumps off a cliff and has been falling for 1.3 sec., how far did they fall?
Answer: • d = ½ gt2 • d = ½ x (9.8) x (1.3)2 • d = 4.9 x 1.69 • d = 8.28 meters 7.) Why are the units meters? The units on 9.8 are m/s2.
