36. You are correct! Why are G, H and I not correct?

37. Strand C – Force and Motion • Force – push or pull

38. Scalars & Vectors • The motion of objects can be described by words - words such as distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. These mathematical quantities which are used to describe the motion of objects can be divided into two categories. The quantity is either a scalar or a vector. These two categories can be distinguished from one another by their distinct definitions: • Scalars are quantities which are fully described by a magnitude alone. • Vectors are quantities which are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

39. Scalars & Vectors • Distance and speed are scalar quantities • Displacement and velocity are vector quantities. • Examples: While speed (like 30km/hr) is a scalar, velocity (30km/hr North) is a vector, consisting of a speed and a direction (north).

40. Scalar or Vector? • 5 m • 30 m/sec, East • 20 degrees Celsius • 256 bytes • 4,000 calories • 5 mi., right

41. Distance/Displacement • Distance and displacement are two quantities which may seem to mean the same thing, yet they have distinctly different meanings and definitions. • Distance is a scalar quantity which refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. • Displacement is a vector quantity which refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's change in position.

42. Distance/Displacement Check • A student walks 4 meters East, 2 meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2 meters North. 4 meters 2 meters 2 meters 4 meters

43. Distance/Displacement • Even though the student has walked a total distance of 12 meters, her displacement is 0 meters. During the course of her motion, she has "covered 12 meters of ground" (distance = 12 m). Yet, when she is finished walking, she is not "out of place" – i.e., there is no displacement for her motion (displacement = 0 m). Displacement, being a vector quantity, must give attention to direction. The 4 meters east is canceled by the 4 meters west; and the 2 meters south is canceled by the 2 meters north.

44. Distance/Displacement Check • The diagram below shows the position of a cross-country skier at various times. At each of the indicated times, the skier turns around and reverses the direction of travel. In other words, the skier moves from A to B to C to D. Use the diagram to determine the distance traveled by the skier and the resulting displacement during these three minutes. A B 40 m 40 m___ ‘ 100 m ‘ C D

45. Distance/Displacement • Seymour Action views soccer games from under the bleachers. He frequently paces back and forth to get the best view. The following diagram below shows several of Seymour's positions at various times. At each marked position, Seymour makes a "U-turn" and moves in the opposite direction. In other words, Seymour moves from position A to B to C to D. What is Seymour's resulting displacement and distance of travel?

46. Distance/Displacement D B C A ___________________________________ -10 0 10 20 30

47. Let’s Check • What is the displacement of a cross country team that begins a ten mile course ending up back at the school? • What is the distance and displacement of the race car drivers in the Indy 500?

48. Speed • Speed is a scalar quantity which refers to "how fast an object is moving." A fast-moving object has a high speed while a slow-moving object has a low speed. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.

49. Constant Speed • Moving objects don't always travel with erratic and changing speeds. Occasionally, an object will move at a steady rate with a constant speed. That is, the object will cover the same distance every regular interval of time. For instance, a cross-country runner might be running with a constant speed of 6 m/s in a straight line. If her speed is constant, then the distance traveled every second is the same. The runner would cover a distance of 6 meters every second. If you measured her position each second, you would notice that her position was changing by 6 meters each second. The following data tables depict both constant and changing speeds:
