Ch 2 Velocity ~Motion in One Dimension~
Scalar versus Vector • Scalar – quantity that only has magnitude • In the previous slide, which is the scalar? • Vector – quantity that has magnitude and direction. • In the previous slide, which is the vector? • What other examples of scalars can you think of? Vectors?
Scalar versus Vector 88 9 72 • Three friends drive their four wheelers a distance of 100.0 m. • Will they end up in the same place? Why or why not. • No, 100.0 m is a scalar and does not specify a specific direction. • Now suppose they drive 175.0 m due East. • Will they end up in the same place? Why or why not. • Yes, 100.0 m East is a vector. It has direction

Displacement • When an object is displaced, it is moved from an initial position (d1) to a final position (x2). • Displacement (variable Dx) is a measure of the change in position of an object after it has moved.
Example Displacement - Distance • John travels east along a straight highway and passes mile marker 260. John continues until mile marker 150 and then doubles back to mile marker 175. • What is Johns displacement from marker 260? • +85 miles • What is John’s distance from marker 260? • 85 miles • What is the total distance John traveled? • 135 miles
Example Displacement - Distance • John travels west along a straight highway and passes mile marker 260. John continues until mile marker 150 and then doubles back to mile marker 175. • What is Johns displacement from marker 260? • -85 miles • What is John’s distance from marker 260? • 85 miles • What is the total distance John traveled? • 135 miles
Distance Displacement
STOP 235 Speed • Speed: The measure of how fast something is moving. • It is the Rate at which distance is covered • Speed = distance / time
Finial position Initialposition Final time Initial time Average Velocity • Average Velocity – the change in position of an object over a given time interval. Vector or Scalar??
88 30 20 40 10 50 O 60 Instantaneous Speed • You raced your 4-wheeler over a 30 mile long track in 1.5 hours. • What is your average speed? • 20mph • Watch the animation. Is the speed always 20mph?
Instantaneous Speed • The actual speed at any “instant” in time. • e.g. The speedometer of a car is the instantaneous speed. • Average speed is total distance / total time.
Speed versus Velocity • Speed has no direction! • e.g. 25 miles per hour (mph) • Velocity has magnitude and direction! • e.g. 25 mph west. • Which is the vector and which is the scalar?

Zero Acceleration, Constant Speed We can use small triangles to visualize the distance traveled per increment of time. The same amount of distance is covered in the same amount of time. The speed of the object remained constant.
Negative Acceleration We can use small triangles to visualize the distance traveled per increment of time. The second triangle is much smaller that the first triangle. The larger size means that the body traveled more distance in the same increment of time The object was moving slower during the second increment. The object experienced a negative acceleration.
Positive Acceleration We can use small triangles to visualize the distance traveled per increment of time. The second triangle is much larger that the first triangle. The larger size means that the body traveled more distance in the same increment of time The object was moving faster during the second increment. The object experienced a positive acceleration.
